Courses and programmes

The programme offers three topical study paths: Particles and Cosmos, Quantum Matter and Atomic-Molecular-Optical (AMO) physics. However, the study paths are flexible and can be customized depending on your interests. The programme finds a balance between experimental and theoretical physics, while targeting modern physics puzzles and applications at the frontline of research. Aside from the courses, the programme includes a master thesis project where you are embedded into one of our research groups. We offer the possibility to carry out long projects, up to one year.

Physics is constantly developing and it is the task of the theoretical physicist to use and to improve existing theories and models, find new ones to describe recently discovered phenomena, or shed new light on old problems. This master's programme offers you advanced knowledge in theoretical physics in a strong research environment.

In this programme you will learn how to translate a mathematical model of a physical phenomenon into a robust computer program and then how to analyse the results from your calculations. You will study courses in programming, mathematical and numerical methods and deepen your knowledge in physics.

This programme allows you to combine your interest in physics with applications in medicine. You will study how radiation is used within health care to diagnose and treat diseases. As part of your studies, you will undergo practical training at a hospital.
