We invite you to take part in an evening of discussion on nuclear energy in Norway and Europe with opportunities for networking and expert talks.
DNV invites all physics students, both bachelor’s and master’s students, to a company presentation at its offices in H?vik on Thursday, April 16.
The theme of the evening will be DNV’s new nuclear power report, which will be published on April 8. The report builds on the work of the expert commission appointed by the Norwegian Parliament in 2024 and addresses Norway’s future in nuclear energy. Both students and DNV employees are invited, and there will be opportunities for mingling and discussion around the topic, with food and drinks served. This will be a great opportunity to meet DNV employees, connect with former physics students, and gain insight into working life after graduation.
A bus will depart from the Physics Building on Thursday, April 16 at around 16:15. The bus will return from H?vi...

There will be an interesting presentation titled: Point defects in semiconductors for quantum technologies: Combining theory and experiment, by Associate Professor Marianne Etzelmüller Bathen, Section for Solid State Physics and Quantum Technology, UiO.
The talk will be in English.

On Tuesday, November 11, from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM, "Interns Day" will be held at 澳门皇冠体育,皇冠足球比分sparken at UiO, where students can meet startup companies (founded by UiO students) at booths to potentially secure internships with them.
This is a valuable work experience that can provide you with more career opportunities, if not a full-time job at the startups. It is also a great way for students who are interested in entrepreneurship and innovation to get involved in the university's entrepreneurial ecosystem and consider starting their own business.
Registration can be done via the link below, where you can also indicate any food allergies for the meal that will be served, which is a nice bonus!

Wednesday, October 29, there will be a career event "Life After Studies."
You will receive useful career tips, have the opportunity to enjoy a snack, and the chance to mingle with other students. This time, Torunn Kjeldstad, head of the Department of Energy Technology, and Nico K?nig, senior analyst at Statkraft, will be joining us. They will share their experiences regarding their career paths and give you insight into job opportunities. Both have an education in physics and have been involved in research. Then, they shifted their career paths to management and as senior analysts.
The event is open to all interested - Free to attend - No registration required.

On October 23rd we will be organizing Master Seminar 1, which is especially aimed at students in their first semester. Here we will have a special focus on how to find scientific literature, how to read scientific articles and how to plan a project. The latter is especially important with regard to the project description that you must submit by December 1st.
Register for Master Seminar 1 here - there will be pizza!
When registering, you can also indicate what you would like to be discussed and answered in the seminar.
It is an expectation from the department that Master students participate in the Master Seminars, as general guidance is provided here in finding literature, referencing and writing.
On Friday September 12th, from 14 - 16.30, students have organized a Career Fair in the Physics Building, with companies relevant for students with a physics background or similar. There are also an event/party at Realistforeningen (RF) later in the evening.
You may registrer if you want food, and want to participate in the evening, but the form is unfortunately only in Norwegian:

Hi,
We hope you have a good semester start. Here is the presentation from the study admin 12th of August.
And here you find the presentation from the Master Seminar with Andri.
We would also like you to remind you of the weekplan this week, which today (Wednesday) includes:
Master Seminar 2 will be held this Friday.
The seminar is meant to prepare you for work on your project and your thesis.
See more information and register by following the link.

Would you like to participate in a study to test a new type of body-worn sensor? You will wear four sensors for a total of approx. 30 hours and will, among other things, spend a short time in a cool room and a warm room to test the temperature characteristics of the sensor. You will receive a gift certificate of 500,- for your participation.
Contact: Sisay M. Abie and Ole Elvebakk: s.m.abie@fys.uio.no and ole.elvebakk@ous-hf.no (send an email to both).
Take the opportunity to learn both about research and about sensors!

We invite you to participate in a research study that investigates the effect of tissue composition and temperature on local bioimpedance measurements. We are researchers in the bioimpedance group, which is part of the electronics section at the university. Our study aims to inform the evaluation of newly developed hyd...
As mentioned in the email before Christmas, there will be two master seminars before the start of studies, namely:
SEMINAR ON CAREERS - Thursday 16 January
and SEMINAR ON THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE MASTER'S THESIS - Friday 17 January
Regarding the latter, most master's students use AI in one way or another, without necessarily knowing what is allowed. We recommend all our students to attend this seminar to learn more about the use of AI in a master's degree.
Due to food orders, we would prefer you to register by 13 January.
Master seminar 1 and 3 have now been conducted. Next seminars will probably be 16th and 17th of January.
You can find some of the presentations from the previous seminars at the bottom of the event pages.
For students who started this autumn.

Ahead of handing in the agreement, you must have found your supervisor(s), have a project description and know your theoretical curriculum.
Feel free to look at the form in advance of the meeting, but please await sending it until after this meeting.
You must use two-factor authentication (secure login) for Microsoft 365 (Word, OneDrive, Teams etc.) and Feide (Canvas, My Studies etc.) at UiO. Confirm your login with a mobile phone.
Read more about two-factor authentication at the UiO at https://uio.no/tofaktor, and access more guides from the same page. There may be two-factor authentication on other services later.
For MS365 applications, you will receive a push notification on your mobile when you are asked for two-factor authentication, and for the Feide login, a new button called Use work or school account will appear.
