Sciences, Physics

Physics is about the fundamental building blocks of our world, as well as the forces and laws that govern them. In this Bachelor's programme, you will gain access to the vast body of knowledge within physics. You will learn how to explore the properties of matter through advanced experiments and how to develop models to describe reality, often using detailed computer simulations. Depending on your chosen specialisation, you can delve into anything from investigating elementary particles to developing new components for energy-efficient technology and high-performance solar cells. As a student, you will be part of a dynamic and internationally oriented university environment where all your lecturers are also researchers. Here are many exciting ongoing research projects, both theoretical and experimental. For example, Lund University has a profile area in Light and Materials, in which Nobel Laureate Anne L’Huillier is involved. There is also extensive research in particle physics in collaboration with CERN, as well as projects in nuclear physics, quantum mechanics, and industrial research. Some projects are conducted at Lund’s world-leading research facilities, the MAX IV Laboratory and the upcoming ESS neutron source, with applications in natural sciences, engineering, and medicine.
