Master's Degree Programme in Exact Sciences: Theoretical Physics

The Theoretical Physics track introduces the student to the intriguing diversity of physical theories and gives means to understand the world. 

Understanding the laws of nature from the bottom to the top!

Topics from quantum physics to the theories of gravity are incorporated into the track of Theoretical Physics. Problems of mathematical quantum physics, quantum information, open quantum systems, quantum technologies, quantum field theory, and theoretical cosmology are at the heart of the studies in Theoretical Physics.

Upon graduation, you will be able to use the diverse set of skills acquired as part of this track, including theoretical and numerical techniques to produce and analyse new physical projects.

The track of theoretical physics is one of the six specialisation tracks of the Master´s Degree Programme in Exact Sciences (previously called the MDP in Physical and Chemical Sciences). The other tracks of the programme are
