📚About the Program

Master’s in Physics at Linnaeus University

This degree provides an excellent basis for those wishing to pursue Ph.D. studies in physics, or for those aiming for work in industries requiring advanced mathematical, computational and problem-solving skills or a background in material science, quantum technology and nanotechnology. The degree programme commences with a semester of general courses, followed by 4-6 ten-week elective courses where you have the choice of studying subjects such as theoretical physics, condensed matter physics, quantum computation and nanoscience. The degree programme is completed with a Master thesis project (with a duration of 20, 30 or 40 weeks) within the physics research group in Kalmar. The programme can be carried out either on campus in Kalmar or entirely by distance learning. A Master’s Degree in Physics prepares you with competence in Physics to meet the needs of society and academia. The programme at Linnaeus University provides a strong background in theoretical physics with emphasis on condensed matter physics and nanophysics. The students enrolled in the programme benefit from individual mentoring by the instructors, who are all experienced teachers and active researchers. During their studies, the students will work closely with the instructors on ongoing research projects actively pursued in the department. Many previous graduates have been successful in competing for Ph.D. studentships at universities around the globe, and others have entered into successful careers in industry. We also have an agreement with the University of Insubria in Como (Italy) which offers a similar programme. This allows you to choose among a large variety of elective physics courses and access to research fields complementary to the ones present at LNU. Furthermore, the agreement gives you the possibility of studying one or two semesters in Como and to apply for a double Master degree, that is, a Master degree granted by both LNU and the University of Insubria.
