Heads of Department meetingAs you may already know, a very large part of my time is spent in meetings. Frequent meetings and more occasional ones – and everything in between. And of course, within that mix there are meetings that are more or less exciting. At the end of April, I attended one of the more enjoyable meetings. I was in Stockholm, meeting with other heads of physics departments, with K

The degree project in physics, at bachelor's or master's level, is an individual project that you do in a research group. You will get the opportunity to enter deeply into a subject that you are interested in, and get valuable experience of working with researchers. The degree project at bachelor’s level is offered as a 15 credits course given two times a year.At master's level, you do a 30 or 60

Scientists at Atomic Physics are pursuing research on the properties of atoms and molecules, mainly using advanced laser techniques. Lasers with outputs of the order of terawatts (1012 or a million million watts) are used to study how material and light interact at extremely high laser intensities. Areas of application can be found in medicine, IT and the environment. For example, methods are bein
