About the Program
Physics is the subject of choice for all those who seek to understand the universe on both its largest scale (astronomy and cosmology) and its smallest scale (atomic and nuclear physics). Physics is the most fundamental of the natural sciences, and it has provided the foundation for many important technical developments, from lasers to quantum computers. The methods and techniques used in studying physics prove to be equally useful when describing the fundamental building blocks of life or estimating the risks associated with a particular financial investment. The Department of Physics at Saarland University runs a trinational Bachelor's degree programme in collaboration with the Université de Lorraine and the Université du Luxembourg. Students in the programme spend the first year studying in Nancy, the second year in Luxembourg and the third year in Saarbrücken. The degree programme teaches students the important fundamentals of classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics and quantum physics. The programme also provides an excellent opportunity for students to improve their foreign language skills and develop their intercultural competence. As the programme is supported by the Deutsch-Französische Hochschule DFH (German-French University), students are eligible for mobility grants. As the trinational BSc programme in physics has been integrated into the DFH academic portfolio, specially tailored German and French preparatory courses and language training courses are available.
