Master Project in Physics and Engineering Physics
Here you will find examples of topics for master's projects for those starting the Master's program in Physics and Engineering Physics at UiB. You can also visit the website of each of our research groups to see past and ongoing projects. Many of our previous projects are still relevant research topics and can often be adapted into new projects.
Main content
The master's program in physics has two official study tracks, Master in Physics and Master in Engineering Physics. Additionally, we have defined 9 different research areas that you can choose to specialize in based on your background. The project examples below are listed according to these research areas:
- Acoustics
- Experimental Nuclear Physics
- Experimental Particle Physics
- Medical Physics and Technology
- Microelectronics
- Nanophysics
- Optics
- Space Physics
- Theoretical Physics
The Master's program consists of two components: one course component totaling 60 credits and the master's thesis worth 60 credits. The total workload for the Master's program is 120 credits, equivalent to two years of study.
Important milestones for the first year. From start on program to start on project.
Below you will find project examples, courses, and contacts/supervisors for each research area.
