Physics - programme subject in programmes for specialization in general studies (FYS1-01)

This main subject area deals with the oldest and most applied laws of physics, and how they find expression in mechanics, electrotechnology and thermophysics. A central principle is the conservation of energy in different processes. The subject area also deals with fundamental concepts that are necessary for working with wave phenomena.

This main subject area deals with the building blocks of nature and how they are joined together, from microcosm to macrocosm. It also deals with information that can be obtained from radiation in various contexts, and how it can be used to create models to explain the world.

This main subject area deals with how mathematics is applied in physics, particularly in the main subject areas of Classical Physics and The Young Researcher. In this main subject area, mathematics is used to systematize observations through the laws of physics. It also involves the use of mathematics to describe phenomena and predict how a system will behave in the future.

This main subject area is about physics as an experimental science, where training to plan, implement and evaluate experiments is the key. It also involves learning about and training in the use of measuring instruments, documenting experiments, collecting data and presenting results. The main subject area also deals with how scientific knowledge is established and with conflicts and dilemmas that might arise during this process.

This main subject area deals with principles of physics that form the basis of certain components in modern technology. It also deals with important assumptions and limitations in the technology.
