The history of mathematics and physics is closely related to the many important discoveries in each field of scientists actively participating in these two fields. In fact, throughout history, disciplines promote each other. Existing mathematics is often proven to be "very effective" in describing reality, while on the contrary, efforts to describe and explain physical phenomena often lead to the development of new mathematics.
Today, with their respective progress and growth, these two fields are more different, but they are still the two most closely related sciences. The interdisciplinary doctoral degree in theoretical physics is for students who wish to work in this interface. It is broad-based and includes several sub-disciplines that share common ground. Each sub-discipline applies advanced mathematical techniques to the study of physical problems.
These include, but are not limited to: advanced classical mechanics and nonlinear processes, classical and quantum field theory, general relativity, many-body theory, partial differential equations in mathematical physics, quantum mechanics, theoretical astrophysics, theoretical physics of matter, condensed matter, and geophysical fluids Mechanics and theory.
Admission is usually limited to candidates with a master's degree. OR Bachelor's degree (outstanding) with honors in mathematics or physics. However, depending on the training and professional field, other degrees may also be accepted. For example, students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in engineering, chemistry, or geophysics generally have the necessary training to be successful in the appropriate subdiscipline of theoretical physics.
Applications for the Memorial graduate program are made through the Graduate School and can be initiated online by following these instructions. Hard copies of documents such as letters of recommendation and official transcripts should also be sent to graduate students.
The application must be submitted at least three months (or four months for foreign students who must apply for a student visa) before the start of the semester in which you plan to register. Memorial semesters begin in early September, January, and early May. Prospective students are encouraged to contact prospective supervisors at the same time (or before) applying for the program to discuss potential projects and common research interests.
Successful applicants will receive a stipend of at least US $ 18,500 to cover tuition and living expenses. This is a 4-year guarantee (as long as the student maintains grades) and generally consists of a combination of postgraduate scholarships, teaching assistant scholarships (in one or two sponsoring departments), and mentor grants. When comparing this level of support to the level of support provided by other Canadian universities, it should be remembered that the tuition fees at Memorial University and the cost of living at St. John's University are relatively low.
Finally, please note that the Interdisciplinary Program in Theoretical Physics is a Ph.D. Program. Students who wish to pursue a master's degree in this field must apply for a master's degree. Math or physics courses (depending on your interests, background, and the position of potential supervisors).
