Education at Physics and Astronomy

Would you like to operate at the forefront of technological innovations? To contribute with scientific solutions to the known and unknown problems of the future? This master's programme will give you extensive training in modern physics, preparing you to take on such exciting and demanding challenges. You will learn to identify and explain general aspects of physics that are integral to applications in engineering and natural sciences. Furthermore, learn how to identify relevant theoretical, computational, and experimental methods and apply these to problem-solving across a wide range of fields.

The human brain, economic markets, our immune systems — even the formation of clouds. These are all examples of complex adaptive systems, formed from multiple interacting components, often nonlinear and dynamic, leading to a collective structure and organisation across multiple levels. With a truly interdisciplinary approach, encompassing several theoretical frameworks, this master’s programme will provide you with a broad and thorough introduction to the theory of complex adaptive systems and their application to the world around us.

The world is undergoing a fourth industrial revolution. Digital data is the new capital, and the internet has become a resource every bit as precious as water or electricity. This master’s programme will train you to become a technology innovator, developing and innovating concepts to form the core of the next generation of cell phones, antennas, quantum computers, sensors, robots, communication systems and satellites. The programme does not aim to provide you with all the answers — rather, to help you ask the right questions. You will graduate as an expert in wireless and photonics technologies and find yourself in high demand in areas including the aerospace, medical and automotive industries.

Physics is a broad subject that is based on both experimental, theoretical, and computational physics. The various scientific subjects various from subatomic physics to astrophysics.

Do you have an interest in an interdisciplinary subject area that describes the relationships between a solid material's composition, structure, properties and performance, and how these relationships may be controlled through different parameters in the fabrication process? Then you may apply to a doctoral student position within the graduate school in of Materials Science when you have received your master's degree.

The graduate school in Nuclear Engineering aims to provide basic knowledge about the operation of nuclear energy-producing systems. The education is based on research with high relevance for both industry and academia.

Are you interested in different measurements and methods for studying the earth's environment? Do you want to develop your knowledge in radio astronomical observations? Then you can apply to the graduate school in Radio and space science after your master's degree.  

The doctoral programmes provide you with a research specialisation based on fundamental scientific concepts, principles and methods. As a doctoral student at Chalmers, you will develop skills that can lead to future opportunities in both academia and industry.

Once the examiner has marked your exam and the result has been reported in Ladok, you will be able to see your marked exam digitally in Canvas.
