The purpose of the course is to familiarize the students with the tools used in theoretical plasma physics. The course builds upon the foundation of the introductory plasma physics course. Subjects of fundamental importance are considered, such as kinetic theory, fluctuations and wave scattering in plasmas.

After passing the course, the student should be able to
Knowledge in plasma physics equivalent to completed course EF2200.
Active participation in a course offering where the final examination is not yet reported in Ladok is considered equivalent to completion of the course.
Registering for a course is counted as active participation.
The term 'final examination' encompasses both the regular examination and the first re-examination.
Basic courses in electromagnetic field theory.
EF2200 Plasma physics or equivalent.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Graduate level courses in plasma physics.
EF2245 Space Physics II.
The former module TEN1 has been replaced by both INL1 and TENA.
