STRUCTURE OF THE GRADUATE COURSE IN PHYSICS

The graduate studies are structured as follows.

The first year students must attend the three basic courses on

1. Experimental High Energy Physics (40 hours)
2. Theoretical Physics (40 hours)
3. Condensed Matter Physics (40 hours)
4. Astrophysics and Cosmology (40 hours)

plus total 40 hours of optional courses. 

each with an examination at the end. Additional optional courses are also supplied.

By the end of July of the first year each student must choose the subject of his/her Ph D thesis and the supervisor. 

The second and third year have no compulsory courses. At the end of the second year the graduate student is requested to 
write a short report about his research activity and discusses it in a colloquium.

The PhD thesis is to be presented and discussed during the first year after the completion of the course.
