Contents

Items of theoretical physics that go beyond the compulsory modules may be the subject of the module. Examples include general or special relativity, fluids, continuum mechanics, magnetism, quantum field theory, theoretical solid state physics, superconductivity, soft matter theory, turbulence, and random matrices.


Qualification Goals

In an initial exposure to the Advanced Theoretical Physics module series, students are introduced to and learn to define the objects and methods of the field. Students use exemplary examples to understand the relationships taught. Exercises or seminars enable students to take their first steps in applying what they have learned.


Prerequisites

None.


Applicability

Module imported from B.Sc. Physik.

When studying M.Sc. Mathematics, this module can be attended in the study area Minor subject Physics.
