Cert in Fysikk

This one-year physics programme at the University of Agder in Kristiansand introduces classical and modern physics, from the motion of objects and the nature of light to conservation of energy and momentum. Students also learn how the central theories were developed and how to write programs that solve physical problems on computers. A main theme is electricity generation and the trade-offs between energy sources. The one-year unit can be part of a bachelor or master in another subject, such as mathematics, or of a physics degree at other universities. Combined with teacher education it gives qualification to teach physics in upper secondary school. Graduates earn a one-year physics certificate.
