About Bachelor of Physics M.Sc.

Are you considering a physics degree, but arent sure whether your subject knowledge up to this point is sufficient? Many prospective students have a keen interest in physics, but at the same time, they have real concerns when starting a physics degree program: Will my prior knowledge be sufficient? What if I wasnt able to take an advanced physics course at my high school? What if I could not even take a basic course? How will I be able to cope with the wealth of material if I need to catch up on many things? What if my high school graduation was some time ago?

Requirements and Admission Criteria for Bachelor of Physics M.Sc. at RWTH Aachen University

Entry Requirements

1. University Entrance Qualification Certificate

In order to be able to apply for a Bachelor's degree program or for a state examination program, you first need the authorization to attend university. This is also known as a university entrance qualification certificate or HZB (in German) for short. As a rule, you acquire the HZB by successfully completing secondary education or, in other words, by graduating from a secondary school.

Since the level of education in secondary school varies greatly from country to country, it may be that your school-leaving certificate does not yet entitle you to attend a German university. In this case, you have two options: Either you first study several semesters in your home country or you attend a preparatory college in Germany.

The overall average grade of your HZB must be at least equivalent to the German grade 2.5. If your average grade is worse than 2.5, admission to the degree program (degree programs with open admission) or participation in the allocation procedure (degree programs with restricted admission) is not possible. (EXCEPTION: Proof of TestAS - see yellow box "TestAS for Internationals")
