Courses

The following are mandatory courses for students in the Department, in addition to courses mandated by the School of Physics & Astronomy. Students whose main area of research is particle-physics theory are strongly encouraged to take Field Theory 1 and 2 in their first year. 

• Field Theory 1 (1st year, fall semester)

• Particle Physics 1 (1st year, spring semester) 

• Field Theory 2  (1st year, spring semester. This course is mandatory only for students focusing on theory research, but is often taken by experimentalists in later years)

• Particle Physics 2 (2nd year, fall semester)

In addition, the following courses are offered, not necessarily every year:

• Advanced Topics in Physics Beyond the Standard Model

• Supersymmetry and Supergravity

• String Theory

• Advanced String Theory

• Selected Topics: Physics at the LHC

• Experimental Methods in Particle Physics

• Selected Topics in Field Theory

• Paradoxes in Quantum Mechanics

• Quantum Information

 
Check the course database to see what courses are currently being given.

In addition to these courses, students are expected to attend the department seminar on a regular basis, and to give a talk at the seminar, usually providing a summary of their MSc research. Please see the upcoming seminar schedule. The current seminar organizer is Prof. Nissan Itzhaki.
