Research-orientated teaching
The degree programme is strongly research-oriented and offers students the opportunity to work on current topics in physics. The close connection to research makes it possible to integrate the latest findings and technologies into teaching.

Options in the profiles
Students have the opportunity to choose different profiles within the degree programme. This allows them to focus on individual specialisations and adapt their studies to their personal interests and career goals.

Integrated preliminary course
An integrated preliminary course at the beginning of the degree programme provides the necessary mathematical knowledge and makes it easier to start studying physics. This provides a solid foundation for the rest of the degree programme.

Digital skills
