Programme
The Master of Science programme consists of a compulsory and an optional part. The compulsory part includes a number of courses on the chosen subject. Master’s students also work on one or two research projects and a master’s thesis. In the optional part of the programme students choose from a number of courses depending on the research project. The programme can to a high degree be tailored to individual needs and interests.
In the first year, courses at an advanced level in theoretical physics, mathematics or general physics are taken. The rest of the courses can be chosen within the area of Physics or Mathematics and a maximum of one master course can be taken anywhere at Leiden University. The second year consists of a research project in theoretical physics, to be completed with the writing of a master’s thesis and an oral presentation.
