The course covers theoretical models for nuclear structure and reactions, as well as experimental set-ups for the study of atomic nuclei, according to the following summary:
Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: The examination consists of theoretical hand-ins and laboratory reports during the course, and an oral examination at the end of the course. The oral examination is only offered to those students that have passed the written assignments.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.

Further information: The course is given by the Faculty of Science and does not follow the study period structure. The teaching consists of plenary lectures, group tuition, and supervision in connection with laboratory sessions and associated computer exercises. The lectures are mainly devoted to an overview of the theoretical content, experimental setups and results, including topics relevant for the laboratory sessions, and presentation of contemporary research.
The lectures are accompanied by group tuition and compulsory individual problem-sheet hand-ins. The laboratory sessions involve preparatory meetings, laboratory work including computer exercises, feedback sessions, and written reports. Participation is compulsory and graded separately from the front lecture part of the course.
It is mandatory to attend the introductory meeting, alternatively the first lecture, or inform the course responsible in order to be admitted to the course.
