Physics

The physics degree programme at Bielefeld provides an overview of all areas of physics. Our focus of research covers all physical scales, from subatomic processes within the atomic nucleus to the universe as a whole. There is fundamental basic research as well as very applied and technologically relevant fields of work.
In Bielefeld, we offer small tutorial groups and excellent supervision. The lecturers are approachable at all times and are happy to take time for your requests.
We have set up a large area for you as a discussion corridor. There you can meet up with fellow students to discuss, work on exercises together and learn.
Physics graduates are highly wanted on the labour market in a wide variety of fields because the skills they have acquired during their studies make them highly sought-after problem solvers.
