Here are some suggestions of the courses you could take based on your interest. These are merely suggestions for those who do not know which courses to consider, or a starting point to building your course list, which should reflect your own personal interests. They should be treated as such. If you have any doubts or questions, please contact the coordinators.

In order to help the students make up their mind, we suggest a few packages within the Theory Track. This is not an exhaustive list, and we recommend that students be as open and versatile in their choices as possible.

« High Energy track »

1st semester:

General relativity
Lie groups, Lie algebras and representations
Statistical field theory and applications

(Interested in numerical aspects): Algorithms and computation or Methods for data-driven

modelling

2nd semester:

There are two natural sets of combinations as follows:

Formal flavor

Quantum field theory II
Conformal field theory
Introduction to AdS/CFT
String theory or Differential geometry and gauge theory

Particle & cosmology flavor

Quantum Field Theory II
Cosmology
Particles in the Dark Universe or String theory
Phenomenology of the Standard Model and Beyond

It is recommended to avoid focusing too much and mix and/or select one more statistical-physics oriented course.
