Program details

Overview

The Applied Physics (M.Sc.) programme at JGU suits students who want to work across the boundary between experimental physics and engineering or computer science, and who are keen to build hands-on applied skills alongside theory. Admission is calibrated closely to a specific mix of prior coursework, reflecting how deliberately interdisciplinary the degree is from the outset. Students complete a compulsory advanced practical course spanning the first two semesters, amounting to four semester hours of lab work each week, in addition to the option of voluntary internships that let them sample a future working environment before graduation. No semester abroad is mandatory, but the structure leaves room for one by arrangement with programme staff.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Applied Physics with a final grade of at least 3.0 (German scale), covering a minimum of 40 ECTS in experimental physics, 40 ECTS in engineering/computer-science modules, 20 ECTS in theoretical physics and mathematics, 15 ECTS of practical lab work and 9 ECTS for the written bachelor's thesis; conditional admission is possible where these areas are not fully covered.
