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: 1FA587, 1FA330, 1FA350, 1FA360, 1FA227, 1FA570 and 1FA451.

Students can do research projects of various lengths instead of courses at any time during their studies (see project courses 1FA566, 1FA565, 1FA195, 1FA193 listed at the bottom of this page).

Students should choose courses according to their preferences for theoretical or experimental research and for fundamental nuclear physics (e.g. hadronphysics), particle physics or astroparticle physics.

Students interested in applied nuclear physics may also consult the specialisation Physics of Sustainable Energy and Complex Systems.

Semester 1

The majority of courses offered in semester 1 are also offered in semester 3. Students are expected to divide the work load between these two semesters.
