If the number of students who want to attend the following courses are few, the courses might be cancelled or given with different teaching methods:
1FA033, 1FA587 och 1FA570.
The default offer comprises base physics courses, Fission- and Fusion-based energy production, modern programming including AI, dynamical and complex systems.
Students may enhance the depth and diversity of subjects or rebalance their focus by choosing among the additional alternatives, main examples are:
- Solar energy with courses 1TE028, 1TE724 (default option), 1FA571, 1FA590
- Wind power with course 1TE043
- Foundation of the Nuclear physics laws with courses 1FA352, 1FA010
Semester 1
