The Master of Physics program
Description of the study programme
Since the winter semester 23/24, the language of the course has been changed to English.
The programme has a standard period of four semesters and can be started in any semester. A total of 120 credit points according to ECTS must be successfully completed. The first year of study serves to deepen the students' knowledge of the subject, while the second year is a research phase that is completed with the writing of a Master's thesis. The study program is divided into modules, which comprise one or more courses. The grades of the module examinations are included in the final grade (weighted according to the credit points of the module). There is no final examination for the entire degree programme. The type of examination (oral, written) is specified in the module descriptions or announced at the beginning of the module. The module descriptions are accessible via the module handbook. At the moment, the relevant website lsf, which lists all courses, is only available in German. The changeover to a bilingual system will take place in the summer semester 2025. Until then, you will find a list of English courses of our departement on this website. In the week before the start of the semester we offer an information meeting for international students. The details will be available on this website in due course.
Information meeting for international students starting in the winter semester 2024/25
We will have an information session for international master students on September 30th at 2pm in the room P2-E0-414. This room is located in ground floor of the old physics building. Within the department it is often refered to as "AV"-room. During this meeting, we will give you some information about the master program in physics. Since the number of international students is fairly small, we certainly can address individual questions. We hope to provide enough information such that everyone can choose appropriate courses for the lecture period starting on October 7th. It is also possible to participate under zoom.
