Physics - Master's Degree

Master's Degree program in Physics

Physics shapes the future. Wherever you look, you see physics and ways to apply physics. Mobile phones, CD players, radios, TVs and computers are all advanced technical equipment based on physical methods and principles. Satellites above us monitor what takes place on the Earth, including environmental pollution. These observations are downloaded by satellite stations and translated into images that makes it easier to understand the situation on the Earth. Also this is physics. Within meteorology physics is used in measuring the air above us, in order to give better weather predictions.

Studies of the northern lights are also important to understand phenomena at northern latitudes.

Admission to the Master´s programme in physics requires a Bachelor's degree in physics, or another degree following a programme of study of not less than three years´ duration, or similar education approved in accordance with the Norwegian Universities Act section 3-4.

In addition, specialization in physics worth the equivalent of not less than 80 ECTS credits is required. Normally, an average mark of "C" or better is required in the Bachelor's degree or similar basis of admission.
