What you will study

The physics programme provides you with broad basic knowledge of physics and in-depth knowledge in selected areas. You will become familiar with the methodological tools of experimental and theoretical physics. In addition, you will acquire computer skills in computer-aided simulation, modelling, and data acquisition.

Career pathways

To get closer to your goal of becoming a high school teacher, you must enrol in a Master of Education programme after graduation. After successfully completing this Master's programme, you can then register for the Referendariat (preparatory training), which completes your teacher training.
