Physics Without Frontiers

UNIVERSITY COURSES

Physics Without Frontiers partners with physics and mathematics departments in selected universities worldwide that are unable to teach specific courses due to a lack of resources, and offers university courses providing experienced lecturers and teaching assistants at the undergraduate and advanced level.

Courses are offered on subjects such as: 

General Relativity, Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Optics, Biophysics, Nanotechnology, Topology, Real Analysis, Numerical and Computational Methods, and Pratical Programming.

Other courses can be provided depending on the specific needs of the partner university. Ideally, these courses will become part of the regular university curriculum in the partner institute. 

The goals of the program are to:

• provide high quality courses in fields that students would otherwise not have exposure to;
• provide mentoring and support for students interested in further study;
• spark further collaboration between the lecturers and postdoctoral teaching assistants, and the faculty members at the partner university;
• train lecturers and teaching assistants at the partner university, where possible, to teach the course for future years.

The 2021 call is now closed, but Physics Without Frontiers invites all university departments that are interested in specific courses to apply next year (see Apply now). 

If you are a lecturer or postdoc and interested to teach a course, you can find out how to apply here.
