Physics, Astrophysics

Master of Science (MSc)

Particle physics addresses the fundamental principles governing our world: forces and constituents. Today, our understanding is described by the Standard Model theory, which has exceptional predictive power but is incomplete. We explore the predictions of the Standard Model and seek a more complete understanding. These experiments are mainly done at the LHC collider at CERN where we are involved in the ATLAS and ALICE experiments. ATLAS searches for new physics, whereas ALICE studies the quark-gluon plasma. As a Master’s student in particle physics, you will take an active part in analysing the data recorded by the experiments.

Astrophysics

Astrophysics is a branch of astronomy that focuses on the physical properties and processes of celestial bodies and the universe as a whole. It combines principles of physics and astronomy to study phenomena such as black holes, galaxies, and the origins of the universe. Astrophysicists use mathematical models and observations to understand the mysteries of the cosmos.
