About the Program

In the subject of Physics in the Master of Education degree program, the aim is to capture states and occurrences in nature at a quantitative and qualitative level and describe them on the basis of generally valid physical laws. The program focuses on experimental physics and theoretical physics. In experimental physics, students make experimental observations to derive underlying laws of nature ranging from mechanics to particle physics. This is covered in a lab course, for example, in which students conduct experiments in atomic and solid-state physics as well as nuclear and elementary particle physics. Theoretical physics, on the other hand, starts from a few axioms to describe in logical-mathematical fashion the interplay between objects and forces on macroscopic and microscopic scales. While students in the bachelor's degree program focus on gaining subject-specific knowledge, the Master of Education degree program puts a stronger emphasis on educational sciences and subject didactics. In these modules, students tackle current topics related to teaching at schools. They learn to use teacher-directed and student-led experiments in class and explore specific questions that are important for work at schools. In teaching degree programs designed for grammar and comprehensive schools, students choose two school subjects. Thus, in addition to Physics, students are enrolled for a second subject as well as Educational Sciences. The practical semester is a key component of the degree program.
