BSc Physics at Ulm University

Programme overview

Physics is a fundamental natural science that investigates the world we can understand, from the macrocosm of the universe to the microcosm of elementary particles. It investigates the states and processes in nature with the aim of finding generally valid, quantitative laws to describe them. These laws are the basis of both our scientific world view and every technical development.
