For information on the duration of the modul, refer to the courses of study in which the module is used.
Non-official translation of the module descriptions. Only the German version is legally binding.
Students deepen and broaden their fundamental technical knowledge and skills in selected disciplines of theoretical physics. In addition to a broad overview of internal physical contexts, they have gained in-depth insights into the content and methods of theoretical and mathematical physics. You will be able to specialise further in the subsequent in-depth phase.
The specific content is determined by the selected events. These can be
be, for example:
General theory of relativity
Lattice field theory
Hydrodynamics
Non-equilibrium physics
Quantum Chromodynamics
Quantum Mechanics II
Quantum field theory
Quantum field theory at finite temperature and density
Supersymmetry
Theoretical solid state physics
Random matrix theory
Theoretical mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and stat. physics.

The courses are offered either to the extent of 10 CP (type A or C) or twice 5 CP (type B). The scope and any other suitable courses will be announced in the electronic course catalogue (ekvv). Either one lecture with tutorial (A) or two lectures with tutorials (B.1 + B.2) or one lecture with tutorial and accompanying seminar (C) must be studied.
As a rule, a course of type A is attended due to the range of courses offered, type C or B.1+B.2 are an exception. As a rule, this module is completed with one examination.

Seminar Theoretical Physics 1 (C)
(seminar)
The seminar is linked to a study coursework in the form of an own presentation and active participation in the scientific discourse (asking questions) as well as the follow-up of the other presentations. |

Teaching staff of the course
Tutorial on Theoretical Physics 1 (A)
(exercise)
Regular completion of the exercises (usually 50%), in each case with a recognisable and goal-oriented solution approach, as well as participation in the exercise groups (in particular: Presentation of own solutions or solution approaches, asking technical questions and critical discussion of the physical problems, working on attendance exercises). |
