English courses offered by the Department of Physics
Below you find the list of courses that are offered in English at the Department of Physics. All Bachelor and Master level courses can be found in lsf. The Master level courses are all taught in English now however most of them are still listed in lsf with their German title. The following list should help you to map the German title in lsf to the corresponding English course title in the module handbook.
Please contact the Erasmus coordination (erasmus.physiktu-dortmundde) in case you have any problems finding the right courses, also if you are an international student not participating in the Erasmus programme!
The courses taught in German can be found also in lsf.
Winter semester 2024/25
Lectures (and exercises)
A separate course number is given in the course catalog lsf for the exercise session of some lectures. Please make sure to sign up for both!
