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.
The graduate school in physics contributes to giving you as a doctoral student detailed and theoretical research that gives you a high relevance for a future in both industry and academia.
The graduate school in physics is also unique as it interacts with several other subjects such as materials science, nanotechnology, chemistry, and life sciences. There are different specializations to choose from. Read more in the study plan.
The graduate school is organized within the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Description of subject
The graduate school in Physics is based on experimental, theoretical and computational physics. The scientific topics range from subatomic physics on the shortest length-scale to astrophysics on the longest length-scale. Furthermore, many of the subjects are in the borderline between physics and materials science, nanotechnology, chemistry and life science. The research projects are commonly utilising the fact that physicists can design, probe, manipulate and predict properties of matter on the atomic scale.
The doctoral programme in Physics is based on research with high relevance for both industry and academia.

Admission Requirements
General entry requirements
To be qualified for admission in Physics the student must have earned a degree at the second-cycle level. The orientation of the student’s degree shall also have a sufficiently close connection to the subject of the doctoral programme. Equivalent requirements apply to individuals who have taken their first degree in a country other than Sweden. The examiner, in consultation with the principal supervisor, shall assess whether the applicant has the requisite capacity to successfully complete the doctoral programme. Other requirements for general entry are regulated in Appointment regulation for doctoral programmes.
The earned degree at the second-cycle level must be a degree in physics, or a strongly related topic (e.g. engineering physics or an other physics related subject), where most of the basic courses in physics have been taken. In detail this implies that the student should have documented knowledge (i.e. passed courses) in at least three of the following eight areas of physics: classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, solid state physics, subatomic physics, thermodynamics, statistical physics and optics.
