Overview

About the programme

Frustration and topology are the corner stones of our Correlated Magnetism research programme at TU Dresden.

Frustration refers to the property of a physical system that it is impossible to simultaneously fulfill all boundary conditions (or to simultaneously minimize all contributions to the energy). Topology is a mathematical concept describing global properties of structures which are invariant under continuous deformations.

In modern many-particle physics, frustration and topology are important sources for unconventional behavior of matter. The discovery and investigation of such behavior form the central goals of our collaborative research center.

Student insurance

Make sure to cover your health, travel, and stay while studying abroad. Even global coverages can miss important items, so make sure your student insurance ticks all the following:

Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
Liability
Home contents and baggage
Accidents
Legal aid

We partnered with Aon to provide you with the best affordable student insurance, for a carefree experience away from home.
