Overview

Key facts

As a student at University of Bergen's Theoretical atomic, nuclear and particle physics you will have the opportunity to study the atomic systems interacting with light, delve into the complex behaviour of quarks and gluons in the extreme conditions created in nuclear collisions or investigate the structure of the Standard Model of particle physics, and beyond.

The courses of the master's programme include advanced methods in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, as well as general relativity. In addition, you will gain experience with modern numerical methods in order to being able to solve cutting-edge problems. As a master student, you will become part of a vibrant research community engaged in various international projects.
