Master English Mathematics & Natural Sciences

Mathematical Physics

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

In the English-language master's programme "Mathematical Physics", you will learn general principles of mathematical physics and acquire in-depth knowledge in selected topics. You will apply the knowledge you learn in the programme to describe, analyse, and solve complex problems. You will transfer concepts to related questions in other or interdisciplinary fields. You will learn to read and understand the latest specialist literature. Under guidance, you will learn to conduct independent research and complete your studies with an independent research paper, the 23-week master's thesis. The programme consists of two one-year phases: a first phase in which physics knowledge is deepened and widened, followed by a research phase. Students can specialize in various areas including Gravitation and Differential Geometry, Dynamical Systems and Stochastics, Stochastics and Condensed Matter, Quantum Field Theory and Functional Analysis, or Field Theory and Dynamical Systems.
