Overview

Mathematical Physics from Leipzig University consists of two one-year phases. The two modules on mathematical physics establish the groundwork for the first phase.

Quick Facts:

You will apply the knowledge you learn in the programme to describe, analyse, and solve complex problems. You will transfer concepts to related questions in other or interdisciplinary fields. You will learn to read and understand the latest specialist literature. Under guidance, you will learn to conduct independent research and complete your studies with an independent research paper, the 23-week master’s thesis.

The programme structure allows students to make individual choices, therefore offering a variety of specialisation options. In addition to the wide range of topics in mathematics and theoretical physics, you can also capitalise on the extended range of elective modules, e.g. from meteorology (data assimilation or numerical weather prediction and climate modelling) or computer science (neuro-inspired data processing, artificial neural networks and machine learning, visualisation, graphs and biological networks).
