You can start your studies in the winter or summer semester, as most courses are offered every semester. You can therefore start in April or October. Three weeks before the start of the lecture period, all first-year students are offered a bridge course in mathematics to brush up on school mathematics and make the transition between school and university easier for you. This is also a good opportunity to familiarize yourself with the university and get to know your fellow students.
You can gain insights into various research groups and actively make scientific discoveries as early as during your bachelor’s degree program. Many research groups offer students paid positions as student assistants, which not only provides you with financial support, but can also be an important step towards an exciting scientific career. The Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics degree program teaches the basics of physics, computer science, and engineering and forms the foundation for the advanced Master of Science in Applied Physics degree program.
In this program of study, you will receive a broad education in mathematics and the natural sciences, as well as technical training. Research, industry, and administrative fields all need specialists who, thanks to their broad knowledge and skills in physics, engineering, and modern technologies, can work independently, quickly and confidently on a wide range of tasks. You will be able to adapt to the changing demands of the market and form the bridge between science and technology. The degree program thus prepares you for a professional field that is located between purely scientific and classic engineering activities and is characterized by demanding interdisciplinary requirements and a focus on internationalization, which is becoming increasingly important.
Apply for the winter semester by September 1 and by March 1 to start in the summer semester. All further information on enrollment and the application process can be found on the central JGU web pages.
