If you are a first year master’s student interested in these courses for credit, please consult with your local contact, before registering for the course.

Description

The course “Advanced Topics in Theoretical Physics” is an advanced level master course with the dual purpose of teach the advanced theoretical physics concepts that are shared between all research directions as well as bridging the remaining gap to the research frontier. It is therefore also highly recommended to beginning PhD students. This course is organized by the Delta ITP, which is a joint initiative between the Universities of Leiden (UL), Utrecht (UU), and Amsterdam (UvA). The lectures are given by professors from these three universities, on topics that change every year.

Details of the course can be found at the Delta-ITP/DRTSTP Advanced Topics in Theoretical Physics website here course details. Please register there.

Please note that the location of each module is different.
