Newly admitted student
Autumn semester 2024
Congratulations on your choice of education! As a new student at the Department of Physics, there are a few things that might be good to know about. We have gathered the most important here.
Introduction and welcome letter
The autumn semester starts on September 2, 2024.
All our courses and programmes start with a mandatory introduction meeting. If you do not attend the meeting, you will lose your enrolment in the course.
In good time before your programme starts, you will get a welcome letter from the department. If you are a master's student, the welcome letter will also contain instructions on how you select courses within your programme.
Sometimes our emails bounce or end up among your junk mails. If you have not received a welcome letter four weeks before the start of your programme, please contact our study adminstration.

- Read the welcome letter rfom 2023 on our learning platform Canvas (will be updated shortly)
