Anything to do before the studies?
To enroll in the Bachelor's degree program in Physics, participation in a mathematical self-test is mandatory. The test helps you determine whether it might be useful to refresh your math skills before starting your studies and is intended solely for your own guidance. It is not evaluated by the department. Only participation is required for enrollment. After completing the test, you can download a certificate of participation which you have to upload with your enrollment documents.
What can I expect during my studies?
The program is organized into a series of modules designed to build on one another throughout your studies. Students are encouraged to follow the recommended study plan, which outlines the modules assigned to each semester.
The structure of each module can be reviewed in the module manual. It provides detailed information on all modules offered within the degree program, including course content, examination formats and requirements, as well as requirements for participation.
• experimental particle physics
• astroparticle physics
• theoretical particle physics
• experimental solid state physics
• condensed matter theory
• quantum technologies
What’s next after graduation?
I work, e.g.,
- automotive/optical industry, microsystems technology
