For students

The aim of mathematical physics is to adapt concept and methods of pure mathematics to study physical problems.

A student interested in mathematical physics may choose to have as a major for her/his Master Degree (FM-tutkinto) either Mathematics or Theoretical Physics. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Department of Physics offer a wide range of courses pertaining to Mathematical Physics education. On the basis of such offer the interested student can compose a study plan with emphasis on the mathematical or on physical side according to her/his preferences.

Study Opportunities
