UiT The Arctic University of Norway, North Norway

Physics - master

This Master´s program in Physics offers four different disciplines:

  • Earth Observation - With a focus on remote sensing you will learn more about the analysis of satellite images through fields such as signal and image processing, statistics and pattern recognition.
  • Electrical Engineering - This discipline focuses on sensor technology, ultrasound, nanoscopy and microscopy, optics and machine learning. All areas provide solutions for technological demands in our modern society.
  • Energy and Climate - In this discipline you will learn more about green technology through sustainable and renewable energies such as solar, wind and nuclear fusion energy. You can learn about the complex climate system, fluid dynamics and mathematical modelling.
  • Space Physics - Introduction to both plasma physics and the physics in the upper atmosphere and ionosphere. You will also learn about space weather, which is crucial for satellite communication.

Each discipline covers different fields of physics tightly linked to the respective research group that is relevant to the chosen field. Throughout the master program, you will work closely with this research group. You will be working with practical and theoretical problems, using state-of-the-art equipment and modern techniques for solving research and industrial problems.
