Complex Adaptive Systems, MSc
NewSpace Systems Engineering, MSc
Physics, MSc
Physics
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.
Materials Science
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.
Nuclear Engineering
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.
Radio and space science
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.
About doctoral studies
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.
Bachelor and master's thesis projects
Bachelor projects
The bachelor's projects offered at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Chalmers, as well as at the Department of Physics at Gothenburg University, are presented in the learning platform Canvas.
Master's thesis projects
Every master's programme is completed with a master's thesis work. All available student projects offered at Physics and Astronomy on advanced level are posted on the Thesis Portal.
Freestanding course
The department offers the open evening course "De stora frågorna – om naturens byggstenar, universum, liv och framtiden" (The big questions: about the building blocks of nature, the universe, life and the future).
Collecting a marked examination
