It is possible to carry out the programme part-time. In such a case it must be discussed with an advisor at the Department of Physics.

Theoretical curriculum

The following guidelines regard the composition of the theoretical curriculum with a total of 60 ECTS credits:

• Aat least 40 ECTS credit courses on the 4000/5000-level. 20 of these 40 ECTS credits need to be within the fields of nuclear science.
• Up to 20 ECTS credits of advanced bachelor's courses from other fields may be included.
• Up to 10 ECTS credits may be special curriculum, or other professional training with the approval of the programme commitee.

The theoretical curriculum depends on which direction you go and the topic of the master's thesis. The structure also depends on whether you choose a master's thesis with an experimental, theoretical or calculation-oriented focus, and your professional interests.

Mandatory courses

Students who have completed similar courses before admission, can replace these with optional courses.
