Physics (M.Sc.)
Brief description
The master’s degree is the actual completion of the physics degree. The very short 2-semester master’s degree requires an 8-semester bachelor’s degree in physics. The theoretical, experimental and practical requirements for graduation have been laid in the bachelor's degree. The master’s course is very research-oriented. The preparation and implementation of the master's thesis is the central component of the course. A small number of opportunities are given to participate in course events.
The master's thesis is an independent scientific research work that requires planning, commitment, teamwork and a certain tolerance in dealing with obstacles and unexpected problems from the candidates. The research activity takes place mainly in working groups (AG) in the department. An orientation phase serves to get to know these working groups. However, there is also the opportunity to do research in research groups outside and possibly in companies, clearly in coordination with the department.
Focus
The candidates are free to choose their field of work, depending on the possibilities. Typically, a working group is found independently and a topic is selected in consultation with the supervisor. You can choose from a wide range:
