About the Program

The Master's program is the second part of the consecutive education in TechnoPhysics: It expands your theoretical and practical foundations of modern physics and engineering sciences and imparts specialized knowledge. The profile of the program is research-oriented and introduces you to current research in physics and engineering sciences. The specialization areas in the Master's program are oriented towards the main research activities of the offering departments: solid state physics and materials science, atomic physics, quantum optics and photonics, biophysics, materials science, thermodynamics, technical mechanics and measurement technology. In the first two semesters, you choose one focus module from physics and one from engineering sciences. The technical/physical elective subject offers you the opportunity to supplement these focuses according to your personal preferences. As part of the project seminar, what you have learned is applied to current issues and then presented in a presentation. In the non-technical/physical elective module, you look beyond your own horizon and learn to work independently on problems from subject areas outside your two core disciplines. The study project prepares you for your first own research project: the master's thesis.
