Course Contents:
This course provides an introduction to modern nuclear theory and its connections to other areas of physics such as particle physics and ultracold atoms. The lecture will be held in English, as all modern references are in English; questions and discussions in German are of course welcome. Two-min questions and homework problems will be designed to improve the understanding of and to explore the topics covered in the lecture.

1. Fundamental forces, strong interactions, and nuclei
2. Nuclear forces: scattering and bound states
3. Effective theories for low energies and universality
4. Nuclear many-body problem
5. Chiral Effective Field Theory and applications to nuclei
6. Selected advanced topics
The lectures will be held in presence. As digital alternative, the lecture notes and a weekly discussion session via zoom will be provided. For most lectures we will provide advance reading material.
