What you will study

The first two semesters are the „probationary period“ of your studies, in which you should find out whether physics is really „your“ subject. Here you will get to know the first areas of physics, learn the basics of mechanics, thermodynamics and electrodynamics and take part in a first basic physics practical course. In addition, mathematics and a non-physical elective (astronomy, chemistry, computer science or physical chemistry) are on your schedule.

Career pathways

Research and development (IT sector, automotive, aircraft construction, medical technology).
