Course description

The M.Sc. program Physics International spans two years. In the first year, students dive into a comprehensive curriculum of lectures, seminars, and lab courses. This phase aims to deepen and broaden their knowledge, building on their B.Sc.-level studies. The second year shifts focus to hands-on research. Students join a faculty research team, working on a topical project in physics under the guidance of a professor or senior scientist. This culminates in a master thesis. The program aligns with the Bologna process of the European Higher Education Area. Students will engage in courses covering experimental and theoretical physics, participate in an advanced seminar, and complete an advanced lab course. A wide array of elective courses is available, many of which delve into current research topics. These electives are taught by active researchers, providing students with insights that prepare them for their own research endeavors. Students are encouraged to reach out to potential master thesis supervisors early. This helps them choose lectures that best align with their thesis topics, ensuring they are well-prepared for their research journey.
