Master of Science

Theoretical Physics Dept. and the Dept. of Theory of Relativity and Gravitation collaborate on M.Sc. course in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. As a result, a unique education scheme graduates experienced theorists who specialize either in condensed matter physics (superconductivity, nanostructures, quantum computing, etc.), or in gravitation and cosmology (methods of mathematical physics, computer modelling).

Necessary skills: general physics and math, general disciplines in theoretical physics (Theoretical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Quantum Theory, Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics). Successful passage of B.Sc. program in theoretical physics is advisable. Among taught disciplines are:

• Modern Problems of Cosmology
• Modern Problems of the Physics of Condensed Matter
• Quantum Physics
• Quantum Theory of Non-equilibrium Processes
• Computer Technologies in Science and Research
• Modern Approach to Synthesis and Study of Nanostructures
• Theory of Supersymmetry
• Methods of Quantum Field Theory in Statistical Physics
• Differential Equations and the Theory of Lie Groups
• Gauge Theory
• Theoretical Aspects of Spintronics
• Theory of Non-Crystalline Solids
• Quantum Theory of Magnetism
• Theory of Lie Groups and Lie Algebras with Their Applications
• Quantum Theory of Strongly Correlated Systems
• Group Theory and its Applications
