Differential geometry plays a central role in many physical theory, as for example in classical mechanics, in solid states physics or in general relativity. During this one semester course, many essential notions will be introduced, among them the definitions of a manifold, of the curvature, of the parallel transport, of the holonomy, etc. By attending this course, students will get familiar with these notions, and will master the fundamental difference between extrinsic and intrinsic geometrical properties.

Studium Generale A course offers exposure to academic topics in the field of natural sciences, presented at an introductory level. The goal is to expose students to topics outside their major or research field, to different ideas – from both the speakers and other participants. Students will increase their understanding and appreciation of wide range of scientific fields in natural sciences. Students will gain experience discussing with participants from other majors and countries.

This course aims to provide students with the necessary information and training to support their career development in the areas of biotechnology and biology after graduation from the university. The students will be able to interact with instructors, classmates, and guests with diverse careers from all parts of the world. In addition, this course is run as part of the COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) program with North Carolina State University, to provide the students with more opportunities for professional development, interaction, and networking. The course is very interactive and, besides guidance on preparation of a CV/resume, and cover letter, includes career panels, mock interviews, and peer review sessions.
