Theoretical Physics

The two-year Master's in Theoretical Physics from University of Wroclaw offers advanced training in Classical and Quantum Gravity, Modern Astrophysics, QCD, High Energy Physics, Quark-Gluon Plasma, Neutrino Physics, Quantum Mechanics, and Machine Learning in Physics. Students engage with active research groups and participate in special projects at the Institute of Theoretical Physics.

program Overview

Students enter the Theoretical Physics from University of Wroclaw program with basic skills in physics, mathematics, and programming. They begin with compulsory courses before selecting specialised electives. By the second semester, they choose a thesis advisor, who helps shape their academic and research direction. The advisor guides students in selecting the appropriate lectures to support their development as young scientists, ensuring they are well-prepared for further academic pursuits or research careers.

The studies offer flexibility, allowing students to shape their education based on intellectual interests or career goals. Whether choosing a broad theoretical path or a specialised focus, students benefit from close interaction with professors who provide individual mentorship. A significant advantage is the opportunity to apply to the PhD School at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, where all doctoral students receive scholarships. The program has been running for a decade and attracts students from Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, and beyond, with faculty members from diverse international backgrounds. Graduates pursue research in theoretical physics and modern technologies or continue PhD studies worldwide.

Study program:

• Students are expected to have thebasic skills in physics, mathematics and programmingobtained during the bachelor courses.

• The two-years' program students do not choose defined specializations at the beginning of the studies. After broad formation during compulsory: Core Courses (compulsory two lectures chosen from wider set) they have opportunity to follow their individual interests by choosing among wide range of the optional courses.

• During the second semester students are supposed to have chosen a master thesis advisor. At this stage, the role of the advisor is to help student to choose appropriate set of lectures.
