MSc Physics at Osnabrück University

The Master's degree course in Physics enables in-depth scientific study with a specialization in a research area. There is close contact between the research groups and the students: It is possible to work in experimental physics, theoretical physics, numerical physics and didactics of physics early on in the course. The consecutive specialist Master's degree course is designed as a research-oriented full-time course and leads to a Master of Science degree.

What you will study

In addition to the classic specializations in solid state physics, optics, surface physics, computational physics and theoretical physics, great importance is attached to interdisciplinary contact with neighboring disciplines - especially where physical aspects and mathematical-quantitative relationships are important in modern research. These include in particular the fields of biophysics, physical chemistry and nanostructured matter.

Career pathways

Physicists can find jobs at universities, in large research institutes, in industry, in the software sector or in management consultancy. Physicists with extensive knowledge of computer science are particularly sought after on the job market.
