Student final project works / Examensarbeten
While we have had project students from many universities in- and outside Sweden, most students doing projects with us study on the Master of Science programmes in Engineering Physics (teknisk fysik-programmet) or Physics (naturvetarprogrammet fysik) at Uppsala university. Nevertheless, we may have projects suited for other students as well. Most of these projects are 30 credits (30 hp), corresponding to roughly 20 weeks of full time work, but 15 hp projects may also be available.Project suggestions
