Physics and mathematics are corner stones of our modern knowledge-based society. This has to do with the structural power of abstraction and mathematical algorithms as well as the far-reaching consequences of logical induction. 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 program offers students both an in-depth and broad education in theoretical and mathematical physics. 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. The two year master course is jointly run by the physics and mathematics departments of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) and Technische Universität München (TUM).
