Program Overview

Vienna Master Class Mathematical Physics

Mathematical Physics is the discipline of solving physically motivated problems in a mathematically rigorous way. As such, it has become an extensive research area at the intersection of Mathematics and Physics with a long tradition in Vienna, as is evidenced by such illustrious names like Boltzmann, Schr—dinger, and Thirring. Many of the currently studied questions in Theoretical Physics require high-level mathematical skills. In order to be prepared for research in this area, one therefore needs to study a variety of mathematical methods and acquire a strong intuition for the relevant physical theories and questions.

Important Information

The MCMP is an initiative within the master programs "Mathematics" and "Physics" at the University of Vienna. It is not a master program itself. In order to join the MCMP, you need to be enrolled in the master program Mathematics or Physics at the University of Vienna.

Remarks

The MCMP constantly offers to its students the opportunity of individual counselling on issues related to studies and courses of the MCMP, master's theses, and research in groups affiliated with the MCMP, as well as further career plans in research. Assigning individual mentors is done by the coordinators at request.
