Abstract
With an investigation into how students in a physics Master of science program make sense of their whole first year study experience in one of the years following a programme reform, we try to offer insights and advice to consider when involved in similar changes. We conclude and argue that by trying to support the students' in making sense of their studying in terms of physics and empowering them in their understanding of the nature of physics and their study situation, both the potential for productive, meaningful and positive learning of physics as something which is relevant in the students life, and the way in which the students analyse and make sense of things they encounter, both physically and academically, are advanced.
