The course introduces some of the most important concepts and methods of modern nuclear structure theory. The syllabus presents a continuation of the topics included in the fourth-year course - Nuclear Physics, and provides a basis for a number of elective courses in the doctoral program. The emphasis is on the introduction of physical ideas and basic theoretical methods that are used in the description of a variety of phenomena governed by the strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions in atomic nuclei. The syllabus includes the necessary mathematical techniques, an overview of modern theoretical low-energy nuclear physics, and prepares students for individual research projects.
