The MAX IV Laboratory offers the unique opportunity to study science at a Swedish synchrotron radiation facility in a cross-disciplinary and highly international setting. Student participation in discussions is actively encouraged and an atmosphere of informality enables easy contact with leading experts. A study program is developed for each student with the guidance of the program directors. General introductory courses such as introduction to Synchrotron Radiation Science, introduction to Accelerators and Free Electron Lasers (FEL) form the base for more advanced and specialized study in areas such as Spectroscopy, Accelerators and FEL and X-ray Based Basic Research.
Theory and practice at MAX IV Laboratory
Study is tailored to both the scientific interest of the student and future plans in the industrial or academic arenas. Since the students studies are at the same site as the laboratory a unique combination of theoretical studies and practical work and demonstrations will be on hand.
Degree project
The presence of a large number of research groups at MAX IV Laboaratory facilitates the choice of suitable degree project. Students will find teams working in a very wide range of subjects from medicine and biology to industrial applied research.
Master Degree Project ("Ex-jobb" 30 ECTS credits)
