M.Sc. Physics

Admission requirements:

Admission is subject to the admissions regulations ("Zulassungsordnung (opens in a new tab)" - legal text is in German - inofficial English translation). Official information about the master's programme including admission and examination regulations can be found on the information page in the "Student Portal" (opens in a new tab).

Admission requirements are:

• High school diploma (university entrance qualification)
• A Bachelor's degree in physics that is officially recognised in Germany or an equivalent degree, satisfying the following conditions:

- An equivalent of at least 32 ECTS credits in courses in theoretical physics (mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics/statistical physics)

- An equivalent of at least 32 ECTS credits in courses in experimental physics (mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, structure of matter)

- An equivalent of at least 24 ECTS credits in courses in mathematics (analysis, linear algebra)

- An equivalent of at least 18 ECTS credits in physics lab courses (beginners, advanced lab)

- A Bachelor's thesis in physics (equivalent of 10 ECTS credits) or equivalent.

- Bachelor’s degrees from non-European countries need to be from 4-year 180 ects programmes. You can apply if you have a 3-year degree AND either a graduate diploma or master’s degree (1-2 years).

• Language proficiency: B2 in English.
• Admission is not granted if the applicant has lost the "Prüfungsanspruch" (has ultimately failed) in a master's degree programme or an equivalent programme in physics

-

The admission committee decides on equivalence of degrees and about exceptions from special conditions. Before the meeting of the admission committee, no reliable information about the success of an application.
