Step 1 - Find your Study Program
Eberhard Karls University Tubingen
Tübingen
Physics
Subjects: Physics
M.Sc. | Master of Science
Course description
The one-year master's degree in physics builds on the four-year bachelor's degree in physics, known as a "consecutive master's degree." You can start this program in either the summer or winter semesters. This master's program is research-oriented, similar in time and focus to the thesis in the previous physics diploma program. Throughout the master's degree, you'll develop the ability to tackle scientific questions independently. This skill is crucial for pursuing a doctorate or succeeding as a physicist outside of research in your professional life. Therefore, it's highly recommended to pursue a master's degree in physics after completing your bachelor's degree in physics.
