Location of University of Tromsø
Two disciplines are available within the Master of Science in physics:
* Electrical engineering: You will learn how to use data analysis methods, signal processing methods, and sensor technology, to solve problems within e.g. Earth observation, subsea sensors for oil and gas, machine learning, etc.
* Space physics: Tromsø is in a unique geographical position to study the Aurora Borealis, the upper polar atmosphere, and the solar wind. You may work with data from several ground based instruments (e.g. EISCAT), with numerical modelling, and with laboratory experiments.
Both disciplines offer the opportunity to work theoretically or experimentally with advanced level problems. The programme qualifies for exciting career options within research, development, production, management, and teaching.
