Description

Our world is facing many challenges - in basic science when exploring fundamental forces and particles or the origin of the universe, planets and life, - and in applied science to find sustainable energy sources, new technology on the nano-scale and tailor-made materials for industry, chemistry and medicine. Physics is the basis for this endeavour and physicists play an important role in these and many other fields.

Lund is consistently ranked as the top university in Northern Europe in physical sciences and this excellence is now expanding through the building of two international research centres - MAX IV and ESS. Around the university and the centres you will find a large number of innovation companies, making Lund a motor in the economy of southern Scandinavia. Physicists in Lund are working on the cutting edge of everything from particle physics at CERN to nanoscience and photonics.

The programme starts with a year of basic mathematics, physics and an introduction to science, common with the Bachelor's programmes in Mathematics and in Physical Geography. The second year gives the tools for further studies in physics, through one semester of mathematics and one of theoretical physics.

The fifth semester gives an overview of physics in Lund, through courses in atomic and molecular physics, nuclear physics and reactors, materials science and particle physics and accelerators. Half of the sixth semester consists of an elective course, to gain a deeper and broader understanding in physics. In the last semester students choose courses and a project in a specialisation. On completion of this Bachelor's programme, students are eligible for a number of different Master's programmes in Lund (and elsewhere).
