Description

This programme covers topics like string theory, quantum field theory, supersymmetry, general relativity, and conformal and integrable field theory. Students gain a coherent, comprehensive introduction to the building blocks of modern theoretical physics. Students study at least eight taught modules and develop individual projects in areas of current research. The programme ideally prepares students for active research.

KEY BENEFITS

  • This intensive programme covers basic topics in theoretical and mathematical physics such as general relativity and quantum field theory, and leads to advanced topics such as string theory, supersymmetry and integrable quantum field theory.
  • Intimate class envir…

This programme covers topics like string theory, quantum field theory, supersymmetry, general relativity, and conformal and integrable field theory. Students gain a coherent, comprehensive introduction to the building blocks of modern theoretical physics. Students study at least eight taught modules and develop individual projects in areas of current research. The programme ideally prepares students for active research.

KEY BENEFITS

  • This intensive programme covers basic topics in theoretical and mathematical physics such as general relativity and quantum field theory, and leads to advanced topics such as string theory, supersymmetry and integrable quantum field theory.
  • Intimate class environment with small class sizes (typically fewer than 30 students per module) allows good student-lecturer interactions.
  • A full 12-month course with a three-month supervised summer project to give a real introduction to research.

PURPOSEThe purpose of this programme is to provide a coherent and comprehensive introduction to the main building blocks of modern theoretical physics, preparing students for active research at the forefront of this discipline.

DESCRIPTIONThe master's is organised on a module system together with an individual project. You will take eight taught modules of which at least five will be from the list: Foundations of Mathematical Physics; Quantum Mechanics II; Quantum Field Theory; Lie Groups & Lie Algebras; Manifolds; Space-time Geometry & General Relativity; Advanced General Relativity; Supersymmetry; String Theory & Branes; Low-Dimensional Quantum Field Theory; Advanced Quantum Field Theory; Mathematical Methods for Theoretical Physics; Standard Model Physics and Beyond.


The remaining modules can be drawn from the wide range of theoretical
physics or pure mathematics MSc modules available in London, the Financial Mathematics MSc in King's and at most two modules from the undergraduate programme at King's. The project is undertaken over the summer in an area of current research.
