This MSc program provides a positive experience of applied mathematics and theoretical physics with state-of-the art applications ranging from cosmology to nanoworld. We encourage/educate our students to become active, lifelong and autonomous learners with good prospects of employment in economic sectors requiring analytical skills. Our students, who should have a strong background in the physical sciences or a relevant engineering field, will become well-grounded in the fundamentals of modern Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics topics with an appreciation of more specialised knowledge and the current frontiers of research. Our learning environment emphasises hands-on theoretical and computational work via a research module that is a large part of the MSc programme, in addition to in-class, project and problem-solving work. Our students will be endowed with professional values including scientific integrity and ethical behaviour.
