About the programme

Do you wish to dive into an area of physics and work independently with a thesis in a specialization you think is exciting? Our Master's degree programme will provide you with this opportunity, and we can offer theses in several fields of study.

In physics we try to reveal the secrets of nature, from the microcosm of elementary particles to the macrocosm of astrophysics. Between these two extremes there is a wealth of subjects, ranging from biophysics at cellular level and medical research to the development of new understanding in fields such as nanotechnology and climate. At present, these and many other areas are advancing in exciting ways.

Programme components 

Master of Science in Physics gives you a unique opportunity to get directly involved in internationally recognized research groups, and access to high standard infrastructure.

The specializations in physics at NTNU is closely related to the Department of Physics' research activities. 

The Department of Physics is organized in seven research divisions:

• Biophysics
• Condensed Matter Physics
• Pure and Applied Physics
• Theoretical Physics
• University Didactics
• Center for Quantum Spintronics (QuSpin) - SFF
• Center for PoreLab - SFF
