Research Internship in Physics

This course gives you the opportunity to participate in physics research with a research group at a university or company.

In the course, you have the possibility to early in your education work in a research laboratory. Here, a student is handling sensitive samples of nanoparticles in solution. The sample is then studied using lasers and detectors.

• Course structure

  This is a first cycle course given during the daytime. It is an elective course.

  Teaching format

  The teaching consists of supervised internship in a research group at a university, college, or companies that conducts physics research and seminars. Participation in all teaching activities is compulsory. Supervisors and suggestions on internship are provided by the department. Before the internship period begins, a plan for the work is approved by the examiner.
  Under special circumstances the examiner may, after consultation with the relevant teacher, exempt the student from the obligation to participate in certain compulsory activities. The student may then be assigned an additional task to compensate.
