About

About the course

Course content

In agreement with the supervisor on the specialization project, the student selects a course on the master level (or higher) that (normally) is related to the topic of the specialization project. An alternative to an ordinary master level course of 7.5 credits would be to select module(s) of a total of 7.5 credits from the following list: TFY4 Optical Spectroscopy (7.5 ECTS), TFY4a Photobiophysics (3.75 ECTS, first part of TFY4)*, TFY11 Light, Neutron and X-Ray Scattering (7.5 ECTS).
*Must be combined with a module of 3.75 credits from another department/specialization course. For more information, visit the webpages at http://www.ntnu.edu/physics/courses/specialmodules.
Current modules from TFE4575 Physical Methods for Nanostructuring and Characterization, Specialization Course, can also be chosen.

Learning outcome

The course will give the student an in-depth knowledge of current interests within physics. There will normally be a connection to the chosen specialization project. For further details, see the learning objectives formulated for each specific course.

Learning methods and activities

For ordinary courses, see the relevant course description. The modules are given as lectures, colloquia, laboratory courses, or self studies. Teaching will be in English if students on international master programmes are attending the course. A re-sit examination will be held in August the following year.
