Recommended courses

Due to the cross-disciplinary nature of the Discovery center, it is not possible to give one list of recommended courses for students who wish to join the group. We encourage any student interested in our work to contact us directly but a starting point is given below:

Courses ATLAS ALICE PLANCK Theory
Applied Statistics: From Data to Results X X X  
General Relativity and Cosmology X X X X
Elementary Particle Physics X X X X
Experimental nuclear and particle physics X X    
Quantum field Theory 1 X     X
Quantum Field Theory 2 X     X
Particle physics at the energy frontier X X    
Relativistic Cosmology      X  
Introduction to String-theory       X
Statistical methods for machine learning  X  X  X  

 

PhD courses

The Discovery Center plans and executes PhD courses each year, with participants both from the NBI and other countries. Read about previous and upcoming courses on the PhD course page . 

Bachelor projects

There are plenty of opportunities to do your bachelor project at the Discovery center. The ATLAS and ALICE groups maintain a list of projects for students who want to work with LHC data or study simulations of physics beyond the Standard Model. Likewise, the Planck team has plenty of opportunities for students to study cosmology simulations and compare them to data. For those with a more theoretical inclination who want to understand the underlying theories of fundamental physics the theory group is the place to go.

For more information contact the teaching committee.

Master projects

The staff of the Discovery center covers a wide variety of research areas. Feel free to contact a potential supervisor to discuss the possibilities. Previous theses can be found here: Theses .
