Mathematical Physics

The rapid progress in Physics and Mathematics in recent decades has often had its roots in the interaction of these two disciplines. The same can be said for many current applications: On the one hand our increasingly complex theories of the physical world need deep and often new - or even yet to be developed – areas of Mathematics. On the other hand, physical theories such as quantum mechanics or string theory have raised questions which have had enormous impact on the development of mathematics, in particular for so-called `pure‘ mathematics.
The Masters in Mathematical Physics is offered by the Mathematics and Physics Departments. The choice of course options is further enhanced by leading theorists at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY). Students with a Bachelors degree in Mathematics or Physics will receive an interdisciplinary and research oriented education in Mathematical Physics. The Centre for Mathematical Physics (ZMP) further contributes to our active research environment.
The course is divided in two parts. During the first year you will enrich and deepen your understanding of Physics and Mathematics by attending taught courses and seminars. The second year is research oriented, culminating in the Masters thesis. During this time you will be integrated closely into one of the research groups at the Mathematics or Physics Department or at DESY‘s Theory Division.
