About this programme
The MSc in Mathematical Physics is offered jointly by the mathematics and physics departments. The choice of available courses is further enlarged by leading theorists at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY). The Centre for Mathematical Physics (ZMP) also contributes to our active research environment. The degree course of study is intended for graduate students holding a degree in Mathematics or Physics. It offers a research-oriented, interdisciplinary education. Depending on your individual preferences, you are free to focus more on the mathematical or physical aspects of the course of study.
The programme is divided into two parts. During the first year, you will obtain an enriched understanding of Physics and Mathematics by attending in-depth courses and seminars. The second year is research-oriented, culminating in the Master's thesis. During this time, you will be integrated closely into one of the research groups at the mathematics department, the physics department, or at DESY's Theory Division.
