It is well suited for the needs of basic research and various fields of application.

The master’s programme is multilingual, but teaching is provided in English. Courses and theses can also be completed in Finnish or Swedish, unless reasons related to teaching require otherwise.

The Master’s Programme in Atmospheric Sciences will help you understand key questions related to climate change, air quality and changing weather patterns. The programme is also the only degree programme educating meteorologists in Finland.

The Master’s Programme in Data Science will provide you with in-depth understanding of the methods applied in data science. Data science is a modern combination of computer science and statistics, which solves problems related to the analysis and use of different types of data sets both in industry and in various fields of science. The demand for data scientists is on the rise, as data collection and analysis are becoming increasingly common throughout society. You will learn the operating principles of different methods, which will enable you to not only apply but also create solutions for new challenges in data science.

The Nordic Master in Environmental Changes at Higher Latitudes (EnCHiL) is a joint programme offered by leading universities in Nordic countries. High latitude ecosystems and societies are changing at an accelerated rate and there is an increasing need for experts having multidisciplinary training in environmental sciences. EnCHiL programme will present the student with different physical, biological, and social processes operating at high latitudes, and how they interact to shape arctic environments. EnCHiL is a hands-on programme and the curriculum contains a mandatory mobility period in other Nordic university.

Are you interested in working as a teacher? The bachelor’s and master’s programmes for teachers of mathematics, physics or chemistry are excellent choices for anyone interested in these disciplines, as well as in teaching and working with people.

The bachelor’s programme for teachers comprises three study tracks: teacher of mathematics, teacher of physics and teacher of chemistry. You will choose mathematics, physics or chemistry as your first teaching subject. As your second teaching subject, you can choose one of the other two subjects or a whole other subject taught at school (such as computing and software, biology or geography).

As a subject teacher, you get to do rewarding work with children and young people. You will open doors into new worlds for your pupils and help them understand how mathematics, physics and chemistry are present everywhere in and around us. In addition to working at educational institutions, you can perform various duties involving education management, design and development. The master's programme contains three study tracks: teacher of mathematics, teacher of physics and teacher of chemistry.

As your second teaching subject, you can choose one of the other two subjects or a whole other subject taught at school (such as computing and software, biology or geography).

The doctoral education provided by the Faculty of Science creates next-generation top researchers, which is why we recruit the most talented and motivated doctoral students.

Graduate student Michael Calzadilla awarded 2024 NASA Hubble Fellowship

Michael Calzadilla grew up in Tampa, Florida. As a first-generation college student, he earned his bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of South Florida in 2015. He subsequently crossed the pond to complete a master’s degree in astronomy as a Gates Cambridge scholar under the guidance of Professor Andrew Fabian at the University of Cambridge. Michael will complete his doctorate in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in May 2024 with his advisor Professor Michael McDonald .

Michael’s work focuses on multiwavelength observations of galaxy clusters to study the baryon cycle that drives the evolution of all galaxies. The largest galaxies residing in these clusters grow via material cooling from their hot atmospheres, which is balanced by feedback from star formation and active galactic nuclei. As part of the South Pole Telescope collaboration, Michael’s work is among the first to leverage recent Sunyaev-Zeldovich-based detections of galaxy clusters to observe this cycling of material out to unprecedented redshifts.

As a Hubble Fellow, Michael will develop machine learning techniques for characterizing the thousands of galaxy clusters being discovered by next-generation cosmological surveys resulting in clean, unbiased samples of the earliest galaxy clusters. Using synergies with large X-ray, optical, and radio datasets, he will seek to answer when galaxy clusters first dynamically relaxed, and how the effectiveness of supermassive black hole feedback has changed over time. He will also use new observatories for more targeted follow-up to investigate the role of feedback-induced turbulence in regulating galaxy growth.
