Technical Physics (B. Sc.)

Whether in autonomous cars, in production facilities of Industry 4.0 or in the Internet of Things - in our increasingly networked and digital world, technologies only function through a complex interplay of different areas of physics.

Physicists have a strong fundamental knowledge in areas such as mechanics, thermodynamics, electrodynamics and quantum mechanics. As generalists, they work quickly and in depth into scientific and technological topics. They abstract problems to their essence and find targeted solutions for numerous applications in our daily lives.

As a student of Technical Physics, you will receive a sound basic education in experimental and theoretical physics as well as in mathematics, and at the same time you will be prepared for the engineering sciences. Through this combination, you will understand physical laws and principles on the one hand, and on the other hand, you will know how they are applied in a wide variety of devices, from microsensors to rockets - a real advantage for your future working life! In the modern laboratories of the Institute of Physics, you will conduct experiments and check whether your calculations are correct in practice.

As a graduate, you are in demand in both research and industry and can work in a research institute, in the research and development department of a company or in management consulting.
