Curricula academic year 2026-2027 per cohort

The curriculum describes the programme requirements that apply to students who started in the same year (cohort).

Curricula bachelor Applied Physics
Curricula double bachelor Applied Mathematics - Applied Physics

The AM–AP double bachelor's programme is an integrated curriculum that consist of a carefully selected combination of courses from both Bachelor's programmes. The curriculum is designed to enable students to achieve the intended learning outcomes of both degree programmes.
The programme is completed within the standard three-year Bachelor's period, with a higher study load of approximately 20 EC per quartile instead of the regular 15 EC per quartile in a Bachelor programme and leads to two Bachelor's degrees upon successful completion.
