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.


Physics master's programme​ at Chalmers


The master's programme in Physics is intended for those who have a strong interest in theoretical, computational, and/or experimental aspects of physics and astronomy. In short, the theory provides models and concepts that can explain and predict experimental observations. The use of computers allows for numerical computation of the fundamental laws of physics and the use of advanced techniques, for example, machine learning and quantum computing.


Topics range from the subatomic to cosmological scale, covering complex phenomena relevant to, for instance, quantum technology, nanomaterials, and living matter. Further, the programme fosters creative thinking, critical evaluation, and problem-solving/engineering skills grounded in the fundamental principles of the physical world.


In the core courses of the programme, the focus lies on giving you a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of physics, thereby preparing you for a future driven by knowledge and technology. You are recommended to choose two out of five different specializations, namely astronomy, computational physics, high-energy physics, materials science or quantum technology.


Finally, the use of advanced instrumentation, both in-house and at large facilities, like our very own Nanofabrication laboratory, one of the best-equipped university cleanrooms in Europe​ and The Onsala space observatory, will give you in-depth knowledge of material and biological systems, and of distant stars and galaxies.
