MA/MS in Physics

Offered in English alongside the existing German-taught physics master's program, this degree deepens the foundation built during a bachelor's degree and builds knowledge oriented toward current research questions. The curriculum centres on research methods, independent and responsible working, strategic planning of one's approach, and the critical evaluation of scientific findings, aiming to prepare students for independent scientific work and, afterwards, for doctoral study. Research facilities such as the Center for Optical Quantum Technologies and the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science, together with close cooperation with the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY), give students the opportunity to take part in current research projects from early in their studies.
