This page presents degree descriptions of our physics-related bachelor’s and master’s degree programs. Still not sure which degree program is right for you? Click on “Help with choosing a degree program” to see various options for learning more about which degree program could be the one for you – ask the academic advisory office your questions, come along for a taster course or listen to what students have to say about their program of study in ourpodcast .
Turn your program into a double degree program: Students in the second semester of their bachelor’s degree program can apply for the new double degree program with the Universitat de Valencia:
What is dark matter and how do I detect it? How do I build a functioning quantum computer? How does the universe develop? How do I optimize modern data storage? Whether it’s about the smallest elementary particles or the vastness of the universe – the answers can be found in a physics degree program. JGU is excellently positioned in the field of physics: Thanks to renowned research institutes such as the Helmholtz and Max Planck Institutes, the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence, and a particle accelerator on campus, JGU is one of the strongest research universities in Germany. It is also a campus university with around 30,000 students, making it a city within a city. This means you have all the central facilities within walking distance and can easily meet other students – for example, through university sports. And by the way, Mainz is rated as one of the most liveable cities in Germany.
Think your school lessons are okay, but they always stop when things really get interesting? Then our pre-university program (only offered in German) could be just right for you. You can attend regular courses (online or on campus) and find out whether studying physics is something you want to pursue. And if you want, you can even earn credits for a possible future degree program.
