Composition of the Study Programme
Composition / Structure of degree programme
In the six semester course of studies students are first given a broad basic training in experimental Physics, Theoretical Physics and Mathematics. This forms the foundation for the broad spectrum in which the professional life and work of the physicist will lie. Based on that a differentiation of the three main aspects of physics is offered after the 5th semester:
- Applied, Experimental and Theoretical Solid State Physics
- Experimental and Theoretical Hadron, Nuclear and Particle Physics
- Experimental Atomic and Molecular physics.
The elective (Wahlpflichtfach – WPF) which is selected from the 1st semester on can be chosen from among the following: Chemistry, Informatics, Numerical Mathematics, Economics, Business Administration.
The non-scientific elective can be selected from among Economics, Business Administration and languages. In the course 180 credit points must be gained, 128 of these in the mandatory section, 30 in the electives, 10 in the study project/special classes and 12 with the Bachelors thesis.
