In the Master's Programme in Computational Physics you will learn how to translate a mathematical model of a physical phenomenon into a robust computer program and then how to analyse the results from your calculations. You will study courses in programming, mathematical and numerical methods and deepen your knowledge in physics. This two-year programme gives you advanced knowledge and broad qualifications in the application of numerical methods and modern computational techniques on a range of physical problems, while continuing your physics education with advanced courses in classical and modern physics. You are provided with a basic course block in mathematical methods, high level language programming and numerical methods. This is followed by advanced courses in statistical physics and in the course in computational physics, you will learn how to use program packages in the form of numerical libraries to model physical phenomena. During the second year you will choose to specialise in subjects like quantum chemistry, condensed matter physics, analytical mechanics, numerical methods, machine learning or how to use large parallel computers. The last phase of the programme consists of the master thesis project, where you get to apply your acquired model building skills to take o
