Introduction
Programme overview
What if satisfying your curiosity could become your job? At the Department of Physics in Lund, you can be curious and creative and at the same time make a strategic choice for your career. Physicists in Lund study subjects including the smallest parts of matter, the interface between living cells and electronics, how to create a cleaner environment and how to cure cancer. At the same time, they are satisfying their curiosity. As a Master’s student, you will become part of a vibrant research community engaged in experiments at major international research facilities and in state-of-the-art laboratories on site. Cutting-edge theoretical studies are also undertaken.
You begin your studies by taking a number of courses, some mandatory and some elective courses. The programme concludes with a Master’s project, for which you spend a full year in a research group or outside the University – there are many exciting possibilities within the high-tech industry in the Lund region.

Career Opportunities
Career prospects
Two international research facilities – MAX IV, a synchrotron radiation laboratory, and ESS, the European Spallation Source – make Lund a centre for, among other things, materials science and attract new entrepreneurs and research groups. The two facilities add to the already existing opportunities for you as a graduate of this Master’s programme. Areas in which graduates find employment include information and communication technology, manufacturing, space exploration, life sciences, medicine, pharmacy, energy production, the environment, electronics and materials science. MAX IV entered into operation in June 2016. ESS is currently under construction, with a planned start of operations in 2023.
