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 Master’s programme, you will study some of the most fundamental questions in physics, from the elementary constituents of matter to the structure of atomic nuclei. You will learn about the fundamental principles underlying the structure of the physical world, through mathematical theories and experimental data that reveal the physics of the known universe. You will gain specialised knowledge of the Standard Model, including its limitations.
The programme introduces you to research seeking explanations beyond the Standard Model, including questions on the universe’s dark matter. In nuclear physics, you can study the quantum-mechanical nature of atomic nuclei, from their many different structures to the search for new superheavy elements.
We offer a wide range of Master projects, from experiments and data analysis to e-science, hardware development and testing. For example, we are involved in the ATLAS and ALICE experiments at CERN and in the upcoming LDMX experiment on dark matter.
Another international collaboration is the planned HIBEAM/NNBAR programme, which will study neutron transformations between matter and antimatter at ESS in Lund.
