Bachelor’s degree of at least 180 credits in physics or the equivalent. The degree must include at least 90 credits in physics. English course 6/English level 2 (advanced proficiency).
In this programme you will explore the fundamental laws of nature and the rich phenomena that emerge when particles interact. Bringing together theoretical and mathematical physics, you will develop your ability to understand, model and predict the behaviour of physical systems—from elementary particles to complex quantum matter. You will be part of a dynamic research environments with close links to two world-leading research facilities in Lund: the MAX IV Laboratory and the forthcoming neutron source ESS (European Spallation Source).
The programme provides a strong foundation in the fundamentals of theoretical physics and good opportunities to specialise in a research area that interests you. The programme covers a broad spectrum of areas within theoretical and mathematical physics. Regardless of which area you choose, the programme provides a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge for developing new models.
In theoretical particle physics, for example, you can choose to study the smallest constituents of matter and how these elementary particles interact with one another. You can also study applications of mathematical physics in nuclear physics and solid-state physics.
