Description
If you want to know how the world function both on a micro as well as on macro level you should study the Bachelor´s programme in Physics. During the first two years of this programme you study courses in basic mathematics and physics. The beginning of the third year comprise courses in quantum mechanics and quantum physics. Optional courses in modern physics are then studied and the programme ends with a half semester long degree project. The Bachelor´s programme in physics give you access to a broad labour market outside the university. The works are mainly directed towards research, development and information in mathematical-physics areas as energy, environment, radiation etc. A degree from our Bachelor´s programme also give a good basis for studies on our Master´s programmes in Physics, Theoretical Physics and Computational Physics. The master´s programmes in their turn constitute a basis to go on to Ph.D. studies in physics. The course literature used in the programme is to a large part in English. If you want to know more about studies in physics contact our student adviser. See also the web page www.physto.se .
Area of interests: Science and Mathematics
Science and mathematics help us understand how the world around us is connected – from the origin and structure of the universe, to the development and function of humanity and all other organisms on earth. Scientific knowledge makes it possible to critically examine the credibility of information in different areas of everyday life, society, and the media. As a scientist or mathematician, you will be attractive on a large job market that covers all parts of society and includes everything from pure technology companies to environment and healthcare, as well as research.
Subject
Physics
Physics deals with ‘matter and its motion’ as well as ‘space and time’. Important concepts are then force, energy, mass and charge. It is an experimental science and its goal is to understand the natural world. The interplay with theoretical model building and experimental work is then important. It is an old science subfield and it developed through the subfield of astronomy to which it is strongly related. The ‘modern’ science discipline physics developed during the 17th century when it diverged from disciplines like mathematics, biology and chemistry. Today one can see that the boundaries between these fields of science are more difficult to define again. Today, physics is a broad and highly developed subject. Research is divided into many subfields: condensed matter physics; atomic, molecular, nuclear and optical physics; high energy physics, elementary particle physics and astrophysics. At Fysikum there are research groups in all the main areas of physics. There is a number of open questions in physics. Mainly physics is studied in study programs at Stockholm University but we have also a lot of separate courses. There is a Bachelors of Science programme in Physics and three masters programmes in respectively Physics, Theoretical Physics and Computational Physics. The teaching of the masters programmes are in English. In the B.Sc programme English textbooks are used extensively.
