MA/MS in Physik

The Master of Science in Physics is taught entirely in English and continues from a physics bachelor's degree, requiring at least a good overall grade or, for weaker or non-equivalent degrees, evidence of ranking among the strongest graduates of the cohort. Admission also checks that specific amounts of coursework in experimental physics, practical laboratory work, theoretical physics and advanced mathematics have been completed, alongside an intermediate level of English, which a German Abitur with continuous English study usually satisfies. The first year is intentionally flexible, letting students choose freely between theoretical and experimental lecture courses to shape their own focus before committing to a research direction. The second year is reserved for an extended research project completed within one of the university's many physics research groups, culminating in the master's thesis; stays at partner institutions abroad, including completing the thesis itself abroad, are actively supported. Graduates move into physics and engineering research, data-driven roles in industry, consulting, insurance, patent work or finance, drawing on strong analytical skills that transfer well beyond physics itself.
