  1. “Theory for Technology” Choose your own regular TN Masters Track but Profile your theoretical interests and talents

  2. Why ? • Theory plays an increasingly large role in application-oriented research, because of • Growing knowledge of phenomena at deeper level • Rapidly increasing power of computers and modelling • Need for cost-saving predictive power • Growing number of theorists / simulators across TN department • ‘Netwerk Theoretische Fysica’ with over 15 staff theorists / simulators across all focus areas / tracks • There are always students with more theoretical / computational interests / Applied Physics

  3. What ? • You follow the regular courses of your chosen track • You select optional courses of more theoretical character • From the existing track-specific courses • From specially developed Capita Selecta Theoretical Physics • Including an ‘active’ and ‘interactive’ Theoretical Student Seminar • You choose your final-year project on a theory / simulation subject • Opportunities in all tracks and groups • You still keep room for other courses and experimental work • You get an annotation ‘Theoretical Physics for Technology’ on your Masters Diploma Supplement / Applies Physics

  4. How ? 88 ECTS • 10 ECTS for the three TN-mandatory courses • 10 ECTS for track courses with ‘theoretical character’ (listed on web) • Including most track-mandatory courses • Including 3 ECTS (preferably) from other track • 5 ECTS Capita Selecta Theoretical Physics • Flexible, max. 2 ECTS per Caput • Next years: Irreversible Statistical Physics, Theory of Liquids, Percolation and Fractals Quantum Field Theory, Collision Theory, Theory of Phase Transitions • 3 ECTS Theoretical Student Seminar • You learn to actively participate with discussion and presentation • Informal and stimulating academic atmosphere • 60 ECTS for final-year project on theory / simulation Applied Physics

  5. Questions ? • ??? • Contacts for information Peter Bobbert Herman Clercx Servaas Kokkelmans • See also websites STOOR: www.phys.tue.nl/stoor Netwerk Theoretische Fysica: www.phys.tue.nl/ntf OITN / Applied Physics
