Education for University Students
For SCIENCE students
Master’s program in Physics – X-ray and Neutron Science
X-ray and neutron beams have special properties for studying a wide range of topics such as fundamental physics, biology and geology. In this program you will learn about the creation and use of such beams. The education has a special emphasis on research at the world-leading X-ray and neutron research facilities MAX IV and ESS in Lund.

Master program in Synchrotron Radiation Based Science
This program is closed for new students.
If you are not interested in a whole program you can take one or several of our courses.
PHYSICS STUDENT
If you are studying physics we think you might enjoy starting with the course MAXC11- Production of Photons and Neutrons for Science since it will give you a good overview of what we do here at MAX IV.
BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY OR GEOLOGY STUDENT
If you are studying biology or chemistry and want to know more about synchrotron radiation based science and how you could use it we think you might like to start with the course MAXM06 – Introduction to Synchrotron Radiation Based Science because it will give you a great introduction to the subject and be a good base for future studies.
