Overview

At this international Mathematical Physics MSc course from University of Hamburg Students can focus on either math or physics. This English-language program is offered jointly by the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Physics.

Mathematics and physics are closely related. On the one hand, mathematics provides the methods for investigating certain problems in physics. On the other hand, increasingly complex physical theories, such as quantum mechanics or string theory, significantly affect the development of new mathematical theories.

Career Opportunities

Graduates are qualified to work in industrial and administrative fields or in research. Interdisciplinary skills in mathematics and physics are in high demand on the labor market, e.g., in basic research, IT, and the financial sector.
