Master in Physics, Master of Science (2 yrs)

At University of Jyväskylä, applications close 2026-01-21, while tuition fees are 14,000 EUR per year.

The Master of Science in Physics at the University of Jyväskylä develops students across four areas of competence: identifying the essence of natural phenomena and applying relevant modelling to complex problems; using computers, experimental apparatuses, and mathematical and computational tools in problem-solving; teamwork and written and oral science communication; and learning to produce new knowledge independently. Study methods are varied throughout the programme. Students work independently, solve problems using pen, paper, and computers, engage in small-group and team assignments, carry out laboratory measurements, and attend lectures and exercises. Physics students are also introduced to the scientific community early on, for example through summer trainee positions in the department's research groups. The programme begins in September 2026 and runs for two years. Graduates are prepared to continue into doctoral studies or to enter professional environments where strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities are required. The programme is delivered at the University of Jyväskylä in Jyväskylä.
