Bachelor graduates whose degree must include the following skills:

-\tExperimental Physics: Command of the basic concepts of classical physics (mechanics, electrodynamics, optics, thermodynamics) as well as quantum, nuclear and solid state physics.
-\tTheoretical Physics: Mastery of the theoretical foundations and methods of classical mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and thermodynamics, coupled with skills in modelling and abstract mathematical formulation of physical facts.
-\t Physics practicals: Recognising and extracting essential physical relationships based on experiments conducted independently by the applicant, documentation and critical evaluation of the test results.
-\tMathematics: Command of the basic mathematical concepts and methods that are required to understand and solve problems in the field of physics. This refers to solid knowledge in the fields of linear algebra, analysis series, differential equations, vector analysis.

The examination board determines compliance with requirements.

Annotation

Our Master’s degree programme teaches mathematical and scientific skills and an overview of the interrelationships within physics. Drawing on current international research, students acquire transferable knowledge in a specialised field, enabling them to analyse, formulate and largely resolve complex physics problems and tasks on a scientific basis. This includes researching current international specialist literature, the independent planning and execution of experiments, and interpreting and simulating them on the basis of theoretical principles.
