Preparatory topics: mathematical tools, numerical methods and theoretical physics concepts relevant for the subsequent phases of courses
Core Topics: foundational graduate-level subjects, including quantum theory, general relativity, quantum field theory, statistical physics, and condensed matter
Review courses: modern topics from fields such as cosmology, particle physics, gravitational physics, string theory, quantum information and condensed matter.
Explorations courses: cutting-edge research topics from various specialized fields.

Students will advance their research skills through:

Winter School: a week-long, hands-on group research project in collaboration with selected researchers
Essay: each student undertakes a short research project supervised by a Faculty member, and produces an essay that is publicly presented and defended.

Requirement:
