Quantum Fields, Strings and Gravity (M.Sc. / P.Grad.Dip.)

The M.Sc. in Quantum Fields, Strings and Gravity offers two streams: Formal and Lattice..

The mandatory modules are the same for both streams and include: Dissertation (to be completed during the summer semester): Theoretical Physics Student Seminar (2 semesters); Topics in Theoretical Physics; Lattice Field Theory.

Students within the Formal stream can then choose between two strands. The Advanced Formal strand offers the following modules: Modern Quantum Field theory; Introduction to Conformal Field Theory; String Theory; Advanced Quantum Field Theory. The Fundamental Formal strand offers the following modules: Introduction to Conformal Field Theory; General Relativity and Cosmology; Standard Model; Quantum Field Theory (2 semesters).

Students within the Lattice stream can also choose between two strands. The Advanced Lattice strand offers the following modules: Numerical Methods; C programming; C++ programming; Parallel Numerical Algorithms; Modern Quantum
Field theory; Advanced Quantum Field Theory. The Fundamental Lattice strand offers the following modules: Numerical Methods; C programming; C++ programming; Parallel Numerical Algorithms; Quantum Field Theory (2 semesters).
