Overview

Key facts

In connection with the processes of modelling and analyzing in natural sciences and technology, they account for the fact that mathematics and theoretical physics are important foundation pillars and central innovative factors of our civilization.

The elite Theoretical and Mathematical Physics programme offered by Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich offers students both an in-depth and broad education in theoretical and mathematical physics.

Two aspects are of particular importance:

The interdisciplinarity between modern theoretical physics and mathematics.
The basic goal here is to demonstrate that physics and mathematics share many common questions.
The transdisciplinarity, i.e. the transfer of knowledge from one discipline to a related one.

The focus for physics students, on the one hand, is on the use of mathematical methods, while, on the other hand, mathematicians are being guided in modern physics questions.
