How is the course structured?

General

A degree programme consists of modules that are defined in the examination regulations and described in more detail in the module handbook. In terms of content and time, it makes sense to study these modules in a certain order. There is a sample study plan for each degree program, which shows you an ideal course of study. If you study in this way, you can complete your studies within the standard period of study. This is not always possible, so there may be individual deviations from the suggested course. When planning, you should bear in mind that not every module is offered in the winter and summer semesters and that some modules build on each other or have other participation requirements. The Student Advisory Service will help you to plan your studies individually.

Study structure

By combining compulsory and elective modules, a total of 180 credits must be earned to complete the Bachelor's degree. The standard period of study is 6 semesters. The number of credits per semester can vary due to the individual selection of elective modules.

The Bachelor's degree program in Physics provides you with a broad basic knowledge of the central phenomena and mathematical models from all areas of Physics. Only with this solid foundation will you be able to work in modern research. It is only in the Master's degree that you begin to specialize and are given a great deal of freedom in your choice of subjects.

In the compulsory part, you will gain in-depth knowledge of mechanics, electro- and thermodynamics, nuclear and particle physics, atomic, molecular and solid-state physics, quantum mechanics as well as the basics of mathematical methods and general Chemistry.

You can put together your own personal timetable from a large number of compulsory elective modules for in-depth study or individual specialization.

In an optional six-week work placement, you can find out about possible career fields, and a stay abroad can prepare you for working in international research networks.
