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.

Key Learning Outcomes
- Expertise in optimisation and automation including artificial intelligence
- Expertise in supercomputing
- Expertise in advanced mathematical/theoretical physics
Programme Specific Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in Physics, Materials Technology or related fields.
- English language proficiency at a level not lower than B2 (following the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)) (confirmed with an internationally recognised certificate or a Skype interview).
- In order to qualify for the master studies at the faculty of Physics, at least 60% of studied subjects have to be from Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Materials Technology, Computer Science, or related fields. The cumulative weighted average evaluation of these subjects has to be at least 60% of the maximum possible and all evaluations have to be positive (passed).
- The selection criterion is based on the weighted average of all the grades recorded in the transcript of your academic report.
- Additional points could be obtained for scientific publications and scientific conference presentations in the fields relevant for the study programme as proved by the bibliographic references.
The candidates who meet the above-listed criteria will be invited to a remote motivational interview. During the interview, the candidate's determination to study in a science-based Master's degree programme is assessed. If the interview is deemed unsatisfactory, the candidate will not be invited to study.
In addition, all applicants have to fulfil the general admission requirements.
Why choose this programme?
- The present technologies of multi-scale supercomputing involve a broad range of problems, which require specialists with an original and creative mindset reinforced by the scientific theoretical tools of material science. Our programme is designed to prepare such specialists.
- This is achieved by learning the latest “unfinished” subjects of theoretical physics and by practising scientific research interfaced with supercomputing and emerging quantum computing.
|
What comes after?
- Our graduates are welcomed in strategical positions in various companies, including roles relating to data mining and analysis, decision-making and optimisation.
- Positions in financial organisations, public administration and international businesses.
- Some of our students join academic and research institutions worldwide, for a guaranteed career in an academic area.
- Software development in R&D companies.
