📚About the Program

Master’s in Physics at Chalmers University of Technology

Physics master's programme at Chalmers The master's programme in Physics is intended for those who have a strong interest in theoretical, computational, and/or experimental aspects of physics and astronomy. In short, the theory provides models and concepts that can explain and predict experimental observations. The use of computers allows for numerical computation of the fundamental laws of physics and the use of advanced techniques, for example, machine learning and quantum computing. Topics range from the subatomic to cosmological scale, covering complex phenomena relevant to, for instance, quantum technology, nanomaterials, and living matter. Further, the programme fosters creative thinking, critical evaluation, and problem-solving/engineering skills grounded in the fundamental principles of the physical world. In the core courses of the programme, the focus lies on giving you a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of physics, thereby preparing you for a future driven by knowledge and technology. You are recommended to choose two out of five different specializations, namely astronomy, computational physics, high-energy physics, materials science or quantum technology. Finally, the use of advanced instrumentation, both house and at large facilities, like our very own Nanofabrication laboratory, one of the best-equipped university cleanrooms in Europe and The Onsala space observatory, will give you depth knowledge of material and biological systems, and of distant stars and galaxies.
