Master Courses

Master's program in Particle Physics division consists of a number of mandatory and optional courses, and a project work. The courses are listed below.

Remember that you have to meet the formal requirements to obtain a master degree in physics. In particular, you have to take the required number of listed courses (or equivalent for international students) as a bachelor or master student. If you are in doubt about whether you meet this requirement then please contact the Director of Studies at the Department of Physics, or the Particle Physics Master's Program study advisors.

Please note that for diploma students who started in 2020 or later, mandatory courses are FYSN21 and FYSN17, while at least 22,5 credits need to be taken through FYSN15, FYST17, FYST16 or FYTN18 (i.e, one must take at least 3 out of these courses). These courses are indicated with # below.

All advanced courses can be found here.
