“Theory for Technology”
Choose your own regular TN Masters Track but
Profile your theoretical interests and talents
Why ?
• Theory plays an increasingly large role in application-oriented research, because of
- Growing knowledge of phenomena at deeper level
- Rapidly increasing power of computers and modelling
- Need for cost-saving predictive power
• Growing number of theorists / simulators across TN department- ‘Netwerk Theoretische Fysica’ with over 15 staff theorists / simulators across all focus
areas / tracks
• There are always students with more theoretical / computational interests
/ Applied Physics PAGE 219-04-23
What ?
• You follow the regular courses of your chosen track
• You select optional courses of more theoretical character- From the existing track-specific courses
- From specially developed Capita Selecta Theoretical Physics
- Including an ‘active’ and ‘interactive’ Theoretical Student Seminar
• You choose your final-year project on a theory / simulation subject- Opportunities in all tracks and groups
• You still keep room for other courses and experimental work
• You get an annotation ‘Theoretical Physics for Technology’ on your Masters Diploma Supplement
/ Applies Physics PAGE 319-04-23
How ? 88 ECTS
• 10 ECTS for the three TN-mandatory courses
• 10 ECTS for track courses with ‘theoretical character’ (listed on web)- Including most track-mandatory courses- Including 3 ECTS (preferably) from other track
• 5 ECTS Capita Selecta Theoretical Physics- Flexible, max. 2 ECTS per Caput- Next years:
Irreversible Statistical Physics, Theory of Liquids, Percolation and Fractals
Quantum Field Theory, Collision Theory, Theory of Phase Transitions
• 3 ECTS Theoretical Student Seminar- You learn to actively participate with discussion and presentation- Informal and stimulating academic atmosphere
• 60 ECTS for final-year project on theory / simulation
