Master-of-Science (M.Sc.) Physics

Master Banner

The Master-of-Science in Physics aims to continue, deepen and broaden studies begun at the Bachelor level and qualifies students for a scientific career (i.e. postgraduate PhD programme) or a leading position in industry and research.

 

Profile

The Master programme in Physics in Freiburg offers participants to consolidate their knowledge in advanced theoretical and experimental physics. Advanced quantum mechanics and the Master Laboratory are mandatory classes.

Advanced physics courses can be selected from a range of state-of-the-art topics in the main research areas of the department Atomic, Molecular and Optical Sciences, Condensed Matter and Applied Physics or Particles, Fields and Cosmos. In addition, students can select from a variety of elective courses in physics, or from course programmes of other faculties.

During their final one-year Master thesis, students specialize in a particular field by participating in a cutting-edge research project at the Institute of Physics or one of the associated research centers. Successful students are qualified for independent research in physics and will be prepared for a scientific career in research, academia, or industry. Furthermore, they are on the next step towards a PhD study, which generally is a prerequisite for leading positions in economy or industry, or for a later academic career.
