Physics — Space Physics

The Auroral Observatory in TromsØ? formed the original basis of the physics studies at the University of TromsØ?. Today, the activities have been extended to research on the solar corona, the Sun-Earth interaction, and the upper atmosphere. Researchers at the Department of Physics and Technology work with data from the EISCAT (European Incoherent SCATter Radar) radars and other instruments at Ramfjordmoen, Svalbard, and AndØ?ya, with numerical modelling, and with laboratory experiments (Aurolab).

As a student on the two-year Master's programme in Physics you can choose one-year projects on a range of topics, for example:
-Observations with EISCAT of phenomena in the upper polar atmosphere, e.g. ion instabilities, fine structures in the aurora, and space weather (dynamics)analysis and interpretation of EISCAT and other radar observations
-Experimental, theoretical and numerical studies of dusty plasmas in the mesosphere with rockets, mesospheric (MST MORRO) and EISCAT radars
theoretical and numerical analysis of turbulence and transport in space- and laboratory plasma
-Experimental studies of plasma phenomena in laboratory plasmas.

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.
