The Master\u2019s Degree in Theoretical Physics at UAM offers an academic structure that combines mandatory common courses with a range of elective courses allowing specialization in the two tracks: Elementary Particles and Cosmology (PEC) and Astrophysics and Physics of the Cosmos (AFC).<\/p>\n
Regarding mandatory common courses,\u00a0Gravitation (GRA)\u00a0and\u00a0Cosmology (COSMO)\u00a0stand out as foundational subjects for all students. Additionally, the\u00a0Master\u2019s Thesis\u00a0is an annual mandatory common course worth 12 ECTS.<\/p>\n
Among the common elective courses, offerings such as\u00a0Astroparticle Physics,\u00a0Advanced Cosmology, and\u00a0Advanced Gravitation\u00a0are available to students from both tracks to deepen their specialized training.<\/p>\n
Each track also includes specific elective courses focused on its area of expertise<\/h2>\n
- \n
- \n
- \n
- For the PEC track,\u00a0mandatory and track-oriented electives include Quantum Field Theory, Standard Model of Particle Physics, Open Problems in the Standard Model, Experimental Particle Physics, Quantum Entanglement and Information, and other advanced mathematics and theory courses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
