Institute of Gravitation and Cosmology at Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (Moscow) opens a
new M. Sc. Programme "Gravitation, cosmology and relativistic astrophysics"
aimed at getting M. Sc. Degree (2 years) and Ph. D. Degree (3 years more) in physics.
The programme includes standard courses in theoretical physics and astronomy as well as special
courses in gravity, quantum field and particle theory. Dissertations involve multidimensional gravity,
quantum cosmology, black hole and space physics etc.
