To apply for the Master’s program, you must have a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Physics or a German or foreign similar Bachelor’s degree. In terms of content, the following areas must be covered to the extent of at least:
- 40 credit points in the Experimental Physics module area
- 40 credit points in engineering and computer science lectures
- 20 credit points in the module area Theoretical Physics and Mathematics
- 15 credit points in the area of lab courses
- 9 credit points for the written Bachelor’s thesis
However, if the above-mentioned areas are not covered, admission to the Master’s degree program can also be granted subject to conditions.
The course is in German, but you will need proof of an English level of at least B2 for reading specialist literature in English. This proof can also be provided by submitting a German Abitur certificate which shows that you have attended at least five years (four years for G8) of English lessons at school and that this was completed with at least “sufficient” or 5 points.
In the course of the Master’s project, you will be integrated into one of over 50 different scientific working groups and work at the forefront of science. Research stays at leading international research institutions or in external university laboratories may be possible. In your research activities, you will work with state-of-the-art equipment and in exchange with other scientists in your field. You will be advised and supported by your supervisor and experienced members of the research group. In addition to important technical skills, you will acquire soft skills such as the ability to work in a team and problem-solving skills, as well as writing and presentation techniques.
You can apply for the winter semester until September 1st and for a start in the summer semester until March 1st. Please note: in order to apply with international documents you need to get them recognized before you apply for a degree program (more information can be found here).
