Qualification Requirements


Previous Degree

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Physics or a closely related subject.

The following knowledge is also required:

  1. Sound knowledge in the following areas of physics (Proof of successful participation in courses with the corresponding content):
    1. Mechanics.
    2. Electrodynamics.
    3. Quantum Mechanics/Atomic Physics.
    4. Thermodynamics/Statistical Mechanics.
  2. Basic knowledge of at least one of the following areas of physics (Proof of successful participation in courses with the corresponding content):
    1. Optics.
    2. Nuclear/Elementary particle physics.
    3. Solid state physics.
  3. In-depth knowledge of the mathematical methods used in physics. These include in particular (Proof of successful participation in courses with the corresponding content):
    1. Vector analysis.
    2. Complex analysis.
    3. Differential equations.
    4. Linear Algebra.
  4. Ability to conduct physical experiments (Proof of successful participation in physical internships or technical internships with physical content).
  5. Practical experience in scientific work (Proof of successful completion of a bachelor thesis or a comparable thesis).

The application can also be made if the bachelor's degree has not yet been completed, but it is very likely that it will be completed before the planned start of the master's degree and this can be proven by appropriate evidencе.
