Study plan for MAMN-PHYS Physics, Master's, 2 years, fall 2024
Name of qualification
The master¿s programme leads to the degree Master in Physics. It is a two year programme (120 ECTS credits)
Objectives and content
The programme aims to give you a broad general knowledge of physics and related subjects, as well as research skills in your chosen speciality. You can choose to write your Masters thesis from the following specialisations:
- Acoustics
- Experimental Nuclear and Particle Physics
- Medical Physics
- Microelectronics
- Measuring Technology
- Nanophysics
- Optics
- Space Physics
- Theoretical Atom, Nuclear and Particle Physics
Admission Requirements
The master's program in physics is based on a bachelor's degree in physics or a subject area in a corresponding subject circle.
Bachelor's degree from UoB that qualifies:
- Bachelor's degree in physics
- Bachelor of Mathematics, given that PHYS111, PHYS112, PHYS113, PHYS114 and PHYS118 are included in the degree. One of the courses can be included in the master's degree.
- Bachelor of Climate, Atmospheric and Marine Physics, given that PHYS112 AND PHYS118 or PHYS119 are included in the degree.
- Bachelor in nanophysics, given that MAT112, PHYS114, MAT121 and MAT131 are included in the degree.
For the specialisation in Microelectronics, a basic electrical engineering subject corresponding to ELE141 and/or ELE142 (Western Norway University of Applied Sciences) is required in addition.
External bachelor's degrees that qualify:
- Other bachelor's degrees may qualify if you meet the admission requirements as described above. I.e., you must hold a minimum of:
- 70 ECTS physics, where 10 ECTS should be lab work,
- 40 ECTS mathematics
- 10 ECTS programming
In addition, applicants with the following background are qualified for two specialisations:
- Microelectronics: Bachelor's degree in electronics engineering, including specialisation in physics/mathematics (Advanced mathematics and physics for computer and electronics)
- Measurement technology and nanophysics: Engineering educations in electronics/ automation/computer technology, including specialisation in physics/mathematics (Advanced mathematics and physics for data and electronics)
NB: If you apply with a degree in Engineering, you have to choose Engineering Physics in the application portal instead of Physics.
You also need to document:
- Average grade of at least C (equivalent to a Norwegian grade C)
- Language requirements for bilingual programs.
