Laboratory work is included in many courses. Some courses include individual tasks such as e.g. doing computer calculations on some specific physics problem. Almost all textbooks used are in English but teaching is normally given in Swedish. There is however a general decision that advanced or specialized courses are given in English if one of the attending students requires it. The student must also carry out one or two degree projects in physics.
Most courses end with a written examination.
The laboratory work is accounted for by written reports, usually one for each laboratory day. Degree projects are presented both as a written thesis and oral presentations at seminars. Examinations of compulsory courses are redone until passed. Courses in physics are given both as separate courses and as part of study programs. Students that choose to follow separate courses are generally after two years of university studies at the same level as those who follow the general physics study program.
