English courses offered by the Department of Physics
Below is a list of courses offered in English at the Department of Physics. All Bachelor and Master’s level courses are available in lsf. While all Master’s level courses are now taught in English, many are still listed in LSF under their German titles. This list should help you map the German titles in LSF to the corresponding English course titles in the module handbook.
If you have any difficulties finding the right courses, please contact the Erasmus Coordination team at erasmus.physiktu-dortmundde—this applies even if you are an international student not participating in the Erasmus program.
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!
Courses taught in German are also listed in lsf.
Summer term 2025
