During the four semesters of their studies, students will have hands-on instruction in parallel computing methods for scientific applications, computational optimisation approaches and artificial intelligence as compulsory courses. In addition, they can choose from a range of theoretical physics and astrophysics courses, which include mathematical modelling, non-local mathematical physics, physical kinetics, spectrometry, data mining, star atmospheres, advanced statistical physics, response theory, cosmology, quantum theory of atoms and molecules, quantum information, low-temperature physics, quantum thermodynamics and the physics of galaxies. For, every semester students join research groups for practice and for gaining experience in research.
