General Physics study path is designed for students who have not yet decided their specialization at the start of the programme or who wishes to customize their education. The programme balances experimental and theoretical physics and is directed towards questions at the front line of physics research.

The programme starts with foundations in general experimental and data analytical tools (detectors, programming for physicists, statistical methods), and a deepening of selected theoretical concepts. It then offers the students the possibility to sample a broad range of physics areas from quantum and nanoscale technologies to particle physics, attosecond physics, and a variety of domains with ramifications into astrophysics, atmospheric science, molecular biophysics, astrobiology and more.

Programme overview

The programme represents two years of full time studies (120 credits), out which 30, 45 or 60 credits are allocated to the master thesis project. Within the programme there is a lot of freedom to choose the courses that best suit your interests and your physics profile. There is also room for you to broaden your competence thanks to a large number of facultative and optional courses.

The study path General Physics offers great flexibiliy and can be adpated to your interests. There is some possibility to start on the General Physics path and then continue to one of the more specialized study paths: Particles and Cosmos, Quantum Matter or AMO-Physics, if the transition is made early enough.

With a combination of mandatory, eligible and optional courses you acquire a solid base in analysis of data, experimental physics and experimental methodology. This is complemented by at least one theoretical course. The last phase of the programme consists of the master thesis project. We offer the possibility to carry out long projects, up to one year. Knowledge and skills acquired in the programme find applications in many areas of industry and research.
