With this course you will obtain in 6 weeks the most advanced knowledge about Statistical Physics"

Thanks to Statistical Physics we can nowadays understand the behavior of a system formed by a large number of particles whose positions and velocities follow given probability distributions. Thus a neutron star can be studied through this branch of physics, since it is composed  of a very large number of particles whose description as a macroscopic system is given by a specific statistic. 

Thus, in this fascinating world of numbers and equations, the relationship between the thermodynamic properties and the microscopic properties of physical systems can be studied. An intense and complex field that has led this academic institution to create a Postgraduate certificate in Statistical Physics of great utility for specialists who wish to deepen their knowledge in this area.  

A program, where through video summaries, diagrams, detailed videos, case studies or essential readings, students can easily learn about stochastic processes, statistical mechanics, ideal gases, elementary kinetic theory of gases or magnetic and biological systems. All this through a syllabus with a theoretical-practical approach, through which you can advance in a much more agile way thanks to the Relearning system, based on the reiteration of content.
