heal.abstract	In this master thesis we present the idea of magnetic monopoles in physics. Motivation of such a concept is given mainly by arguments of electromangetic duality. First, we explore Dirac monopole, which is done by explicitly introducing magnetic monopole configuration to Maxwell’s electromag- netic theory. Then we discuss in a rigorous way ’t Hooft-Polyakov monopoles, which in contrast to Dirac monopoles, arise naturally in grand unified theories. In addition to this we generalise ’t Hooft-Polyakov monopoles in curved spacetime. We continue then with the main text by introduc- ing the prospect of monopoles in electroweak theory. Such idea comes with some experimental and theoretical controversies. However, the core of this idea is useful as we will examine extensions of the standard model with Born Infeld terms.	en
