Overview

Key Facts and Outcomes

Students learn about applications of physics in engineering or life sciences or in medicine in a non-physics elective.

The Saarbrücken master's degree program Physics is all about research. In their theoretical-physical education, students first acquire in-depth knowledge in the subfields of quantum mechanics and static physics. In the experimental part of the master's program, they work on more advanced concepts in solid-state physics and atomic physics.

The Saarland University master's program also includes the practice and application of modern physics methods in research internships and in the working groups. The master's thesis then deals with a current problem in biophysics or soft matter, solid state and nanostructure physics or quantum technologies.

Other requirements

General requirements

A bachelor's degree or equivalent university degree with a focus on physics or a physics-related subject

The particular suitability for a master's degree. This is usually determined by a bachelor's degree with an overall grade of 2.5 or better or an aptitude test.

The physics course requires specialist skills in the areas of mechanics, electrodynamics and optics, thermodynamics and statistics, atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear and elementary particle physics and quantum mechanics.

The number of credit points acquired in lectures and exercises on experimental physics, theoretical physics and mathematical fundamentals should not be less than 30 CP each. At least 20 CP should have been acquired as part of physics internships.
