A Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. Also required is 75 credits in physics.
Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. This requirement can be met either by achieving the required score on an internationally recognised test, or by previous upper secondary or university studies in some countries.
Study the fundamental laws of the Universe with our Master's specialisation in Theoretical Physics: Quantum Fields and Strings. You will receive the comprehensive training expected of a theoretical physicist. You will acquire the necessary mathematical skills, and explore breakthroughs in gauge and conformal theory, string theory, holography, and more. Guided by eminent scientists, embark on a journey of discovery at the forefront of understanding Nature. Physics at Uppsala University covers the entire spectrum of physical phenomena, with cutting-edge research across all sub-branches: theoretical research, elementary particles, material science, quantum technology, biophysics, energy, Earth sciences, space, and astronomy. Completing your studies here prepares you excellently for PhD studies in diverse fields and subjects and equips you with transferable skills highly sought after in many job sectors. The programme is taught by the active researchers in the field and introduces you to the theoretical description of the fundamental laws of Nature, how humanity currently understands them, and modern attempts to explore the unknown. Foundational knowledge and the role of modern mathematics is important, and so the programme is designed to cover the necessary background to master adva
