Brief program overview
The two year master studies in theoretical physics provide a high-level, internationally competitive training in theoretical physics, guiding to frontiers of modern research in the following main areas:
Quantum field theory and QCD, quark gluon plasma
Classical and quantum gravity
Conformal field theory and bosonic string
Neutrino physics
Deformed Field Theory, kappa-Poincare formalism, double special relativity Supersymmetric quantum mechanics, integrable models
Modern quantum mechanics, entanglement, nonlinear dynamics
Many body physics and statistical mechanics Compact stars comprehensive and up to date introduction to modern theoretical physics is provided in connection to the current research conducted at the Institute of Theoretical Physics. Students can join one of the active groups and take part in special projects.
The studies offer considerable flexibility and choice; you will be able to choose a path reflecting your intellectual tastes or career choices. You may prefer a broad theoretical education across subject areas or if you have already decided about your profile, you may follow a more selective path. We will assess your performance by one or several of the following means:
written exams
course work marked on a pass/fail basis
take-home papers
mini-projects.
The modes of assessment for a given course are decided by the course lecturer and will be published at the beginning of each academic year.
