MSc Physics (English-taught) at University of Stuttgart

Entry requirements

A strong foundation in physics based on a qualified B.Sc. degree, an interest in modern fields of physics such as quantum technologies and solid state physics, and an eagerness to contribute to fundamental research. Which areas of specialisation are there? The Department of Physics at the University of Stuttgart and the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research are well known for their outstanding scientific research on solid state physics, quantum technologies, atomic and quantum optics, photonics, soft matter physics, strongly correlated many-body systems, and numerical simulation. PHYSICS students join the institutes for their one-year research projects and become fully integrated in the work of the group. Admission Requirements A qualified bachelor degree in Physics or an equivalent degree in Physics or in a related field of study The complete information on the admission process, required knowledge of English, and the criteria for the assessment of academic suitability can be found in the admission regulations. Language Requirements Very good knowledge of English, non-Native speakers need a language certificate (TOEFL or equivalent test results) as proof.
