Key Summary
Introduction
Students enter the program with basic skills in physics, mathematics, and programming. They begin with compulsory courses before selecting specialised electives. By the second semester, they choose a thesis advisor, who helps shape their academic and research direction. The advisor guides students in selecting the appropriate lectures to support their development as young scientists, ensuring they are well-prepared for further academic pursuits or research careers.
The studies offer flexibility, allowing students to shape their education based on intellectual interests or career goals. Whether choosing a broad theoretical path or a specialised focus, students benefit from close interaction with professors who provide individual mentorship. A significant advantage is the opportunity to apply to the PhD School at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, where all doctoral students receive scholarships. The program has been running for a decade and attracts students from Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, and beyond, with faculty members from diverse international backgrounds. Graduates pursue research in theoretical physics and modern technologies or continue PhD studies worldwide.

Program Outcome
By completing this program, you will:
- Gain broad understanding of physics across the core areas studied in the Master in Theoretical Physics program;
- Develop your knowledge in selected areas of physics, close to the edges of current research;
- Develop techniques and knowledge of literature associated with your project area;
- Become familiar with the methods of research and inquiry used to advance your knowledge;
- Achieve a new level of self-direction and originality in tackling and solving research problems, and gain a skill in the planning and execution of autonomous research.
Career Opportunities
Research in mathematical and theoretical physics, industry.
Curriculum
Students are expected to have the basic skills in physics, mathematics, and programming obtained during the bachelor courses. The two-years program students do not choose defined specializations at the beginning of their studies. After broad formation during compulsory: Course I and II and Core Courses (compulsory two lectures chosen from a wider set) they have the opportunity to follow their interests by choosing among a wide range of optional courses. During the second semester, students are supposed to have chosen a master thesis advisor. At this stage, the role of the advisor is to help the student to choose an appropriate set of lectures.
