Bachelor's programmes
The first two years of the Bachelor´s Programmes in Physics, Astronomy, Biophysics and Meteorology consist of courses in mathematics and physics. The first two years of the masters's programme in medical physics follows the same curriculum. Through theoretical studies and laboratory work the knowledge of the subject deepens. A course in numerical methods is included to provide basic skills in a programming language and the ability to use the most common numerical methods. In the third and last year an independent project work is included together with courses depending on the subject of the Programme. Teaching is in Swedish.
