Master program in physics and theoretical physics

After a bachelor degree in physics you may want to continue to broaden and deepen you knowledge and go for a masters degree in theoretical physics. On this program you can take courses in eg. general relativity, complex economics, caos theory and experimental methods.

For your masters degree you need to write a masters thesis, and we suggest that you pick a subject from one of our research departments.

In theoretical particle physics we study the smallest constituents of nature and how they interact with eachother. In particular we try to understand the theory for the colour interactions between quarks and gluons. Our reasearch is in the border region between theory and experiments and we have close contacts with research groups at the largest accelerator experiments around the world.

In computational biology and biological physics our research is concentrated around the modelling of the properties and dynamics of proteins, the interaction between proteins and between proteins and genes, interaction between cells and the application of this in the study of stem cells and cancer. The latter is done in collaboration with research groups in biomedicin, sometimes with direct clinical applications.

The master program is coordinated with the Department of Physics. You can find more information on their web site:
