About the Master
The Department of Mathematics of the Université de Bourgogne, in Dijon, France, offers a Master’s degree in Mathematical Physics. The objective of the two-year program is to provide the students, within a mathematics curriculum, with a knowledge of the advanced mathematical methods of modern theoretical physics. The program develops mathematical methods used in a wide range of topics in theoretical physics, such as quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, general relativity, gauge theories, string theory, etc. The coursework will cover different fields of mathematics (algebra, geometry, analysis) and will highlight their applications to the problems of contemporary theoretical physics. The student will be integrated from the very beginning into the Mathematical Physics group of the Institut de Mathématiques de Bourgogne (IMB) and are expected to write a Master’s thesis during the second year.
The students admitted to the Master’s program will be automatically considered for one of the available fellowships.
All the lectures will be given in English.
