Master's programme in X-ray and Neutron Science - Courses

The X-ray and neutron science programme offers a wide range of courses. You should choose 15 hp (credits) of courses for each study period (all are 7.5 hp half-time courses, unless otherwise stated). Remember to check the course requirements and contact the course coordinator if in doubt.

See degree requirements for general requirements

During the second year, you should do a Master's degree project. We recommend that you do a project for a full academic year, corresponding to 60 ECTS credits, course code FYSM63. Alternatively, you can do a one-semester project corresponding to 30 ECTS credits, course code FYSM33. In the second case, you can do the project either full-time for one semester, or half-time for two semesters, and you need to take courses corresponding to an additional 30 ECTS credits.

Two courses are mandatory:

  • Quantum Physics in Research and Society, FYSN21
  • Quantum Mechanics, FYSN17

You also have to take at least three of these five (marked with * below):

  • Introduction to Accelerators and Free Electron Lasers, MAXM07
  • Experimental Methods and Instruments for Synchrotron Radiation, MAXM16
  • Spectroscopy and the Quantum Description of Matter, FYST65
  • Modern X-ray Physics - Diffraction and Imaging, FYST51
  • Modern Neutron Physics, FYST52
