The Theoretical Physics track introduces the student to the intriguing diversity of physical theories and gives means to understand the world. Understanding the laws of nature from the bottom to the top! The track of theoretical physics is one of the five specialisation tracks of the Master´s Degree Programme in Physical and Chemical Sciences. The other tracks of the programme are Astronomy and Space, Chemistry of Drug Development, Materials Chemistry and Materials Physics. Topics from quantum physics to the theories of gravity are incorporated into the track of Theoretical Physics. Problems of fundamental quantum physics, quantum information, quantum field theory and theoretical cosmology are at the heart of the studies in Theoretical Physics. Upon graduation, you will be able to use the diverse set of skills acquired as part of this track, including theoretical and numerical techniques to produce and analyse new physical projects. Job options The prospects for employment at relatively senior levels is excellent for those trained in the physical and chemical sciences. Thanks to the broad scope of the programme, the skills and knowledge developed as part of this education at the University of Turku provide many employment opportunities in different areas. Our MSc graduates have been employed to wide range of professions, in addition to academic career, such that finance sector, medical imagining, quantum technology, game development, and data mining.
