Admission to the Master of Physics

If you are enrolled in the bachelor’s program at TU Dortmund University, please re-register for the next semester. Once you have completed your bachelor’s degree, you can transfer to the master’s program in physics using the “Application to Change Programs” form available from the Student Affairs Office. Please note that if you are changing your major from the Bachelor’s program in Medical Physics to the Master’s program in Physics, you cannot transfer without first determining the requirements you must fulfill. Please contact the Academic Advising Office in a timely manner.

If you earned your bachelor’s degree at another German university, please apply through the Student Affairs Office’s online portal.

Before you enroll, make sure you are familiar with the necessary prerequisites for the corresponding master’s program. In general, you must determine whether your first university degree is sufficient in terms of content and quality for admission to the desired master’s program. Ultimately, this decision is made by the relevant admissions committee. Once you have submitted the complete enrollment documents to the Student Affairs Office, they will be forwarded to the respective admissions committee for review. You will be notified in writing of the outcome of the review, and if admitted, you will be enrolled immediately.

To expedite the application process, we strongly advise all external applicants to contact our Student Advising Office before submitting their online application to clarify whether they meet the necessary requirements, whether any conditions must be fulfilled, and/or whether any academic credits can be transferred.
