Theoretical Physics is a field of study separate from Physics. The compulsory lectures on mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum physics and statistical physics, required for the Bachelor or Master degrees, teach the basics about the laws of physics. Learning the skills needed for analytic and numerical computations is emphasized. Special courses in particle physics, cosmology, general relativity, mathematical physics and solid state physics are also offered on a regular basis.

The current research fields in theoretical physics are particle physics, cosmology, space physics, materials physics, and nanoscience.
