Degree requirementsThe quantum science and technology track of the master programme in physics offers a wide range of courses. Each study period, you're required to select 15 credits worth of courses (typically two half-time courses, unless stated otherwise). Be sure to review the course requirements and reach out to the course coordinator if you have any questions.To view the general degree requi

A recurring item on the agenda during my first months as Head of the Department of Physics has been and remains the issue of decision-making. At head of department meetings, leadership training, department and divisional management meetings, it is always there.- Don't be afraid to make decisions, they can change, is a recurring advice.And yes, it is true. New decisions can be made and sometimes th

Nobel Prize and research infrastructuresIt is one year since Anne L'Hillier was awarded the Nobel Prize and we continue to celebrate. What impact does Anne's Nobel Prize have on us? This has come up many times over the past year. And another question has also been there: how do we get more Nobel Prizes?  But the latter is not the right question. The Nobel Prize is a consequence of a healthy and in

The other physics departmentsAt the end of October, a group of heads of department from different physics departments in the country met at Chalmers to exchange experiences and to create an active network of heads of department. Participating were physics heads from Chalmers, University of Gothenburg, Uppsala, Stockholm and KTH (physics and applied physics), as well as the heads of microelectronic

My first yearI will soon have been Head of the Department of Physics for a full year and it has been an exciting year! Both for the department and for myself in my new role.  Reading my first Head of Department letter from the beginning of the year, I realise that at the time I naively thought I would know what the job of Head of Department was like after a year. I've been through the annual cycle

The Year of the Snake - challenges, opportunities and the way forwardJust over a week ago, we entered the Year of the Snake - a time that, according to mythology, can bring uncertainty and chaos. Perhaps the Year of the Snake began earlier, given all that has been happening both here and in the world. We have seen both positive and negative events, and some developments are still unclear.

RelevanceOne of the strengths of the Department of Physics is that we have a wonderful mix of pure basic and applied research, and everything in between - sometimes commissioned, but otherwise initiated by the researchers. We should therefore have a wide range of possible topics that can fit in with the expectations and desires of students and society, and we have every chance of attracting the be

Work environment issues are often divided into the physical work environment, including safety, and the psychosocial work environment. The physical work environment is easier to regulate and monitor. You need to be trained to handle chemicals in a laboratory, we have regular safety rounds and if something happens (like at the nano lab recently), there are routines and procedures in place to limit

On government governanceThe question of what is the best form of governance for Sweden's universities has been discussed in the research bill, in the research community and in the media. Lund University is a government agency, for better or worse. The advantage is that in well-funded times, the form of government agency ensures stable funding and support, and places demands on maintaining a high s
