About this course
You have thorough knowledge in physical theories, models and methods within your programme option.
You have broad knowledge of relevant experimental and numerical Methods.
You have broad knowledge regarding advanced analytical models and methods in physics.
You have developed professional intuition and comprehensive understanding which makes it possible to present and discuss physics problems, results and uncertainties.
You can develop and apply advanced analytical, numerical and experimental methods used in physics:
You can apply already acquired methods to new problems.
You can execute preliminary simulations and experiments in order to approach new phenomenons/problems.
You can apply the relevant analytical, numerical and experimental methods to examine the problem/hypothesis:
You can (one or several):
develop and utilize measurement devices and execute advanced experiments
develop and apply advanced analytical models
implement numerical methods and use existing programs
Physicists become employed within a large number of areas from finance and hospitals to engineering companies and public administration. After a master's programme, you will in addition to a firm understanding of physics, also have acquired a significant amount of training in analytical methods and thinking, furthermore programming and use of advanced computer tools. Such knowledge and skills are important in order to understand and analyze phenomenons and processes in nature. Additionally knowledge and insights in physics are fundamental regarding modern high technology, and economists also acquire mathematical models from physics.
Many work tasks and carreer paths will be open. Some examples include research and development within the private and public sector, management and research administration, programming and development in the computer industry, medical physicists, in addition to teaching and imparting.
Some of the employers of graduates include: The Norwegian Veritas (DNV), Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU), Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, Oslo University Hospital, State Radiation Protection, Norwegian Hydro, Telenor, Norwegian Cancer Society, Norwegian Metrology Service, SINTEF, IDEAS, Inventura Tech, Accenture, Statoil, IBM, IFE, hospitals and x-ray institutes.

Theoretical curriculum
The following guidelines regard the composition of the theoretical curriculum with a total of 60 ECTS credits:
- at least 40 ECTS credit courses on the 4000/5000-level, with the exception of 4000-level courses existing in a 3000-level version. 20 of these 40 ECTS credits need to be within the fields of physics or mathematics.
- up to 20 ECTS credits of advanced bachelor`s courses from other fields may be included.
- up to 10 ECTS credits may be special curriculum, or other professional training with the approval of the programme commitee.
The special curriculum is a series of lectures, books, overview articles etc which has a natural connection with the Master`s thesis. It should not include literature that you should have read anyway in order to get familiarized with the problem area of the research task.
Please see the structure for each programme option for a more detailed description of the theoretical curriculum.
There are mandatory courses in Health, Safety and Environment, HSE, in the beginning of the first semester:
- HMS0501 - Safety and Physical Environment
- HMS0502 - Positive Learning Environment
- HMS0507 - Fire Safety
- HMS0505 – Electrical Safety
HSE-courses do not give credits. If you have previously passed equivalent courses at the University of Oslo, you will not need to re-apply these.
As a master’s student you get to specialize within your programme option. You must find your supervisor and a Master’s thesis in the first semester. The work with your thesis equals to a full academic year. The Master’s thesis is completed with an oral presentation and examination at the end of the fourth semester.
Students must complete their theoretical curriculum and all mandatory HSE-courses before their oral presentation and examination of the Master's thesis.
