StudyQA — Master: Physics — Energy and Climate — UiT The Arctic University of Norway

Description Requirements Funding More

The Physics – Energy and Climate program at UiT The Arctic University of Norway offers students a comprehensive education focused on understanding the fundamental principles of physics as they relate to energy production, distribution, and climate processes. This multidisciplinary program is designed to equip students with a solid foundation in classical and modern physics, alongside specialized knowledge in energy systems, renewable energy technologies, and climate dynamics. Throughout the program, students will explore the physical phenomena that influence our planet's climate, such as atmospheric processes, ocean currents, and greenhouse gas effects, while also gaining practical skills in energy analysis, modeling, and sustainable development.

The curriculum combines theoretical courses with practical laboratory work and project-based assignments, encouraging students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Students will have opportunities to participate in research activities, internships, and collaborations with industry partners, which can enhance their understanding of real-world energy challenges and climate solutions. The program emphasizes sustainability and innovation, aiming to prepare graduates who can contribute to the transition toward low-carbon energy systems and help address global climate change.

Graduates of this program will be well-positioned for careers in renewable energy, environmental consultancy, research institutions, government agencies, and international organizations dedicated to climate policy and sustainable development. The program also provides a strong foundation for those wishing to pursue advanced degrees or careers in scientific research, engineering, or policy-making related to energy and climate issues. With its focus on Arctic and northern environments, the program uniquely prepares students to understand and address climate challenges specific to these sensitive regions, fostering expertise that is increasingly critical in a changing world.

Admission to the Master's programme in Physics requires a Bachelor's degree in Physics, or another degree following a programme of study of not less than three years' duration, or similar education approved in accordance with the Norwegian Universities Act section 3-4.In addition, specialization in Physics worth the equivalent of not less than 80 ECTS is required. Normally, an average mark of "C" or better is required in the Bachelor's degree or similar basis of admission.
