Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course, the student will have a thorough understanding of how to characterize interacting and / or random systems.  The student knows the phenomenology of phase transitions and associated phenomena. The student will be familiar with current research topics in equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics.
