A unique Master’s programme covering essential knowledge about how plants work, their genetics and interaction with the environment.

Nowadays, there is mathematics in virtually everything, from mobile phones to passenger cars and oil tankers. The internet is built on mathematics. Google is based on probability theory, and cryptology and secure data transfer are based on classical number theory. Modern physics, chemistry, climate science, bioinformatics — the list is long.

The Master’s programme in Physics gives you the opportunity to acquire wider and deeper knowledge and abilities within one or several subareas in physics. You are free to choose courses according to your own interests and ambitions, but we also offer three special profiles: Computational Physics, Advanced Materials and Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics. The study atmosphere is international and you can choose to study part of the programme in another country.

The master's programme in Engineering Physics bridges the gap between theoretical physics and practical engineering, seeking to develop future technology. Solving complex problems is an integral part of education, demanding in-depth knowledge of physics, as well as analytical and computational tools. Through specialisations, students become domain experts in one field of physics and go on to advanced industrial R&D positions or PhD studies.

Built on existing strong minerals exploration MSc programs, TIMREX is a joint master’s degree in mineral exploration with add-on innovation and entrepreneurship skills. The program has a strong emphasis on field activities and the application of innovative exploration techniques and solutions is the specialty of TIMREX among the EIT-Labelled master programs. Intensive fieldwork is expected from the students during the summer period between the first and second years of study. Students will develop their entrepreneurship, innovative and socio-civic skills, with strong support from industrial and research partners.

The Master in Games User Experience Sweden is a leading nation in the global game industry, and Skövde is the leading Swedish city in which to study game development. Here you will find four master's programmes in games, eight bachelor's programmes covering all disciplines of game development, extensive game research, a successful game incubator, and last but not least, a large number of game companies.

This Master’s program develops students’ skills in several fields, such as remote sensing, GIS, methods for modeling, explorative data analysis, and visualization with a focus on Earth and Environmental Sciences. Landscape change, environmental monitoring, and mapping, as well as environmental issues in general, feature significantly on the daily political agenda.

The Master in Financial Engineering is deisgned to prepare students for a challenging and successful career in the international world of finance. You will see finance from advanced quantitative perspectives, including management of financial portfolios and risk analysis in financial markets.

The EMerald master‘s program was created to answer the urgent need expressed by the European Union to create a resource-efficient Europe. As the EU recognised the importance of mineral and metal resources in our modern economy, it also realised that the raw materials industries were facing a critical skills shortage.

This degree provides an excellent basis for those wishing to pursue PhD studies, or for those aiming for work in the biotechnology, chemical, food or pharmaceutical industries. The degree program commences with a 10 week introductory course on research methodology, which is followed by four or five ten week blocks where you have the choice of studying subjects such as bioanalytical chemistry and food analysis, biophysical chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, biotechnology, environmental chemistry and nanoscience. The degree program is completed with a either a 30 or 20 week research project run within one of the research groups in Kalmar. A Master´s Degree in Chemistry paves the way for a career in research or industry. We provide individually tailored degree Programs that include extensive experience working in research laboratories and with state-of-the art equipment. Many previous graduates have been successful in competing for PhD studentships at universities around the globe, and others have entered into successful careers in industry.

In a world facing complex environmental problems, ecological understanding and a systems perspective are fundamental to finding sustainable solutions. If you are interested in nature and want to address global challenges, this program is the right choice.

Masters in Soil, Water and Environment

Understanding proteins is central to understanding and solving both medical and biochemistry-related problems on the molecular level. This programme explores the molecular structures and functional mechanisms of a large number of proteins. Graduates from the programme will master methods of cloning, expression and purification of proteins, and a number of specialised techniques for analysing proteins. They will also be able to understand and use primary scientific publications and have the ability to independently plan, carry out and critically evaluate experiments.

Environmental forensics is a multidisciplinary science combining various disciplines for increased knowledge of chemicals released into the environment and their effects on human and environmental health. The Master of Chemistry in Environmental Forensics (MSc) offers a broad education in close connection to research related to chemical safety, health, and the environment. This education gives you the opportunity to develop the knowledge needed for you to contribute to a sustainable society.

This two-year master's program in resources engineering is unique in Europe and provides the students with cutting-edge knowledge in georesources engineering, geometallurgy, and processing of primary mineral ore resources and secondary resources from metal recycling.
