Learning outcomes
PLO-03. Develop and research conceptual, mathematical and computer models of processes and systems, use them effectively to gain new knowledge and / or create innovative products in physics (astronomy) and related interdisciplinary areas.
PLO-07. Deeply understand the general principles and methods of natural sciences, as well as the methodology of scientific research, be able to apply them in their own research in physics (astronomy) and in teaching practice.
Form of study
Distance form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Know the basic concepts of quantum field theory, general relativity, cosmology and particle physics.
Course content
The discipline covers modern experience in cosmology and particle physics. The course develops the professional skills of the graduate student as an independent scientist capable of conducting research in physical systems, which are described by the methods of quantum field theory and general theory of relativity at non-zero temperature.
