Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Understand and produce strict mathematical reasoning
    • Make sense of formal expressions
  • Solve new problems
    • Use knowledge from different fields to address issues
  • Address literature and interact within other scientific fields
    • Have a good knowledge of related fields using mathematics

Learning Outcomes of UE

The objective is to understand the properties of matter in the solid state. We study the basic excitations in atomic crystals and the movement of electrons, which gives rise to the thermal and electrical properties of solids. In addition we introduce various connected subjects, such as superconductors, nanostructures and photonic crystals.
