NS-TP530M

Advanced topics in theoretical physics II
 
This fall's D-ITP Course Advanced Topics in Theoretical Physics aimed at advanced Masters students, PhD and postdoctoral researchers, is built around the general theme of “Modern Methods in Theoretical Physics“.

Lectures will take place on Mondays at  11:15-13:00, followed by a study/exercise session 13:45- end. As of now the plan is that the lectures take place online, at least for the Utrecht module.  
The course will be divided into three 5-week  modules; for each one there are four lectures (3hrs each) and four exercise sessions (3hrs each). At the end of the module there is an exam. 
Registration: (will soon be available here)
