About the Program

The study programme builds on a Bachelor's in physics or another natural science or engineering degree. The objective of the Master's programme is to provide specialised training in several sub-subjects of physics at the highest level. Students are encouraged to adopt autonomous and goal-oriented ways of learning and working. The programme is divided into two one-year sections: Specialisation phase (first and second semester) Research phase (third and fourth semester) The professional specialisation phase with lectures, exercises and internships serves to acquire the advanced knowledge necessary for independent productive work in physics. With special training in several sub-subjects of physics, the graduates can prepare themselves specifically for certain future fields of activity. The research phase includes seminars and a research project. Physicists are not only sought in publicly funded or industrial laboratories or research centres but also in engineering occupations or other areas outside physics.
