M.Sc. Physics

Admission to the Master's programme in physics is open to students who have completed at least six semesters of a Bachelor's programme in physics with a total of 180 CP or an equivalent programme.

The admission requirements also include one of the following:

• proof of a minimum of 25 CP in basic experimental physics,
• proof of a minimum of 15 CP in theoretical physics (proof of a module on quantum mechanics in a B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree programme in physics or comparable achievements in another degree programme must be submitted),
• proof of a minimum of 15 CP in higher mathematics in the fields of analysis and linear algebra and geometry,
• proof of a minimum of 10 CP in a basic laboratory course in physics,
• a Bachelor's thesis of at least 8 CP in a physics-related subject.

We do not require any language certificates with your application, if one of the following applies to you:

• English is your native language
• You have a German Abitur certificate
• You already completed an English-language degree program
• Your Bachelor's thesis is in the English language

Should one of the criteria mentioned above apply to you, we do not need special/official proof, please just send us whatever documents you have. Should we require further information, we will contact you.

If none of the criteria mentioned above apply to you, you must provide a certificate of proficiency in English at B2 level as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (TOEFL PBT 550 points, TOEFL iBT 72-94, English test at B2 level of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) or equivalent results). The examination board decides on the equivalence.

The program is divided into a two-semester study phase and a two-semester research phase.
