MSc Physics

About

The Master's course in physics builds on the physics education obtained in a three-year Bachelor's course in physics or an equivalent qualification. It aims at an advanced training in selected fields of physics, offers the opportunity for specialisation and concludes with a one-year research phase directed towards the capability of performing independent research. The Master's degree qualifies for a subsequent PhD thesis. The subjects of the Master's course reflect the physics research pursued at Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg. Focal points are astrophysics and astroparticle physics, condensed matter physics, optical sciences, physics in life sciences and theoretical physics. The study programme can be shaped in a flexible and individual way. However, a certain minimum of courses both in theoretical and experimental physics are required. The research phase is performed in internationally well-recognised groups and collaborations including the associated Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (http://www.mpl.mpg.de).

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Applicants are required to have a Bachelor's degree in physics or an equivalent qualification. A list of courses (with details on the duration of the course and hours involved) and grades must be provided. A CV and a letter of motivation should accompany the application. Academic records should be issued in their original languages accompanied by English or German translations (usually prepared by the university or a government agency, unless the institution issues original documents in English). In general, records or transcripts must be issued by the school and must include the school's stamp or embossed seal and the signature of the authorising official. If upon inspection of the above documents, a student is to be considered for the programme, an interview may be conducted, either in person or by phone.
