Programme Gravity+
Dear student,
We are working on solutions for hybrid education that will take place online and on campus. Therefore the instructional modes, number of exams, the form of the exams and/or assignments may change. You will be informed through Brightspace in case of changes. The course information in the Course guide provides an indication of what you can expect in the course.
In the case of not being able to attend one or more practical courses/lab days due to corona measures, the course coordinator will decide if the student is obligated to re-take the missed meeting and how this will take place.

The Gravity+ synergy track reflects the unique Radboud expertise on the role of gravity in the universe, from the largest to the smallest length scales. This track brings together the worlds of physics, mathematical physics and astronomy, covering a wide range of topics that encompasses classical and quantum gravity, the mathematical foundations of general relativity, and (observational) astrophysics. The track intersects with the Master's specialisations in Mathematics and Particle & Astrophysics. The aim is to bring our students to the forefront of international research in gravity, including the unique program conducted at Radboud University exemplified by the recent breakthrough in black-hole imaging through the Event Horizon Telescope.
The synergy track consists of a 15 EC core curriculum:
Quarter 1 | Quarter 2 |
