Overview

The programme focuses on properties of condensed matter, including semiconductors, superconductors, functional magnetic materials, and nanostructures which are vital for technological applications in today's world.

The Technical Physics programme from LUT University offers first-year students three internship places at CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, where physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Duration of internship is three months.

Career prospects

With a degree in technical physics, you will have an excellent starting point for a career in scientific research, engineering, business, finance and IT.

After graduation, you can find placement in e.g. the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland or join health care or technology companies and startups.

Other jobs possibilities for technical physics graduates include finance or venture capital related to high-technology industries.

You can also start an academic career at the LUT Doctoral School.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Advanced specialisation studies, 50 ECTS credits, focus properties of condensed matter, including semiconductors, superconductors, functional magnetic materials and nano-structures; microelectronics, optoelectronics, spintronics, magnetocaloric and quantum technologies.

In minor studies, min. 20 ECTS credits, you can choose from applied mathematics, data analytics and pattern recognition, renewable energy and energy efficiency. You may also complete your minor subject during exchange abroad (upon application).

You can choose elective studies, 10 ECTS credits, as an opportunity to complement your professional and personal improvements according to your preferences. Choose e.g. language courses or any other disciplines at LUT.
