This programme serves as a gateway to understand the fascinating world of physics, ranging from the unimaginably small scales of elementary particles to the vast dimensions of our universe. The highly rated research programme aims to describe space-time and the fundamental forms of matter, as well as microscopic descriptions leading to a fundamental understanding of macroscopic phenomena.
Space-time and fundamental forms matter topics:
- quantum gravity,
- elementary particle physics, and
- cosmology.
Macroscopic phenomena topics:
- Bose-Einstein condensation,
- quantum Hall effect, and
- emergence of order in colloids.
Utrecht University also offers a Honours programme in Theoretical Physics and Mathematical Sciences for excellent students.
Challenged to do research
