📚About the Program

Master’s in Physics at Norwegian University of Science and Technology

With a Master in Physics, you are attractive in the labour market, both in the public and private sectors, in areas connected to research, consultancy, engineering, and education. In physics, we try to reveal the secrets of nature, from the microcosm of elementary particles to the macrocosm of astrophysics. Between these two extremes, there is a wealth of subjects, ranging from biophysics at a cellular level and medical research to the development of new understanding in fields such as nanotechnology and climate. At present, these and many other areas are advancing in fascinating ways that you get to delve into when you study physics with us. Show less
