Master's in Computational and Experimental Physics (M-CEP) Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm

The Computational and Experimental Physics (M-CEP) Master's programme combines the fascinating aspects of experimental physics with modern methods of computational modelling and simulation.

During the programme, you have the opportunity to shape your academic profile according to your interests. You can either complete the degree without a specialisation or choose one of the following specialisation tracks:

• Advanced Experimental Physics (AEP): If you are interested in cutting-edge experimental research in fields such as medical technology, laser physics, quantum technology, and beyond, this is the right choice for you.
• AI and Computational Physics (AIP): This specialisation focuses entirely on leveraging computers and artificial intelligence methods to solve complex physics problems.

You can find the course organisation including all modules here under "Content".

Very important: All physicists and mathematicians (~24 staff) are "one team" for this new Master's programme. This guarantees perfect academic support. :-)

The Master's degree programme "Computational and Experimental Physics" is jointly offered by the Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm and the Technische Hochschule Würzburg-Schweinfurt.

Please find all admission requirements here under the topic of "Admission".

82 EUR per semester

At the Language Center of the Technische Hochschule Nürnberg, many classes are offered. Some are explicitly targeted at students improving their English skills and / or learning German as a foreign language. 

The Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm – or the Ohm – is one of the largest universities of applied sciences in Germany with approximately 12,500 students. We are a community encompassing thirteen faculties and students from a wide variety of educational, social, and cultural backgrounds.

Our students work on social and economic challenges and are educated to become competent and open-minded individuals. Our application-oriented academic programmes lead to outstanding professional prospects for our graduates. Across a broad spectrum of disciplines, the Ohm offers accredited undergraduate and graduate degree programmes that are complemented by certificate programmes, part-time programmes for professionals, and cooperative education models.

All continuing education activities of the university are brought together within the Ohm Professional School (OPS), the Ohm’s central institute for continuing education. Its programmes are designed for professionals, executives, companies, and organisations.The OPS stands for academically sound, practice-oriented, and flexible learning formats.

At the Ohm, we research important issues that affect society and realise innovative ideas to create real and sustainable solutions. The university is well networked and collaborates with regional and international companies and partners. Through this network, the university has a strong impact in the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region and beyond. As a member of DIVERSE, a European Universities Alliance, the Ohm actively promotes international cooperation in education, research, and innovation and contributes to strengthening the European Higher Education Area.

About Nuremberg

Nuremberg — a great place to study

Nuremberg is an international city and offers an open, inclusive environment for students from around the world. More than half of the city’s population has an international background, with residents from over 170 countries. This diversity is reflected in everyday life — in neighbourhoods, on campus, and in cultural activities — creating a welcoming atmosphere where international students quickly feel at home.

Excellent Career Prospects

Over the past decades, Nuremberg has developed into a dynamic knowledge, innovation, and service hub. The regional economy is shaped by key future-oriented sectors such as engineering, IT, and digital technologies, business and economic consultancy, market research, sustainability, logistics, and Industry 4.0.

For international students, this provides excellent opportunities beyond the classroom:

• Internships and student jobs during their studies
• Close cooperation between universities, research institutes, and companies
• Strong career prospects after graduation in an internationally networked labour market

Why choose Nuremberg for your studies?

• International and multicultural city
