Welcome to 4 days of compulsory lectures and various optional events, which you are highly recommended to participate in.
Use this opportunity to network, and to become better acquainted with your fellow students at physics, Eldat or MENA and the research groups at your study programme. The introduction week will provide help to choose courses, get an overview of the curriculum, and gain essential knowledge about how to get the best out of being a Master’s student at the University of Oslo Department of Physics.
Wednesday will contain meetings specific for the study programmes. Please note where and when you are to meet up with your study programme group.
Lectures will be given in English if nothing else is stated. For several of the events, food will be provided by the university.
Note: This is a preliminary programme with subject to change.
