Medical Physics, M.Sc.
The consecutive master's program in medical physics offers research-oriented training in physics with a medical-physical specialization in the following areas:
- Biophysics
- Physical basics of medical technology
- Radiation physics, dosimetry, radiation protection and nuclear medicine
- Medical imaging and optics
By integrating medical subjects into the medical physics course (Bachelor and Master), essential training content necessary for later recognition as a medical physicist is conveyed during the course of study.

Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

Compulsory modules (110 LP): Experimental Physics, Introduction to NMR spectroscopy, Biophysics, Optics and Imaging, Procedures, Medical Technology (compact), Radiation Physics and Radiation Medicine B, Orientation Internship Master, Specialization, Methodological Knowledge and Project Planning, Master Thesis.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
Physicists can be found in many areas of industry and economy that place special demands on analytical and systematic skills. For example, physicists work in basic and industrial research, in application-related development, on planning and examination tasks in industry and administration, in consulting and sales, but also in the software industry or banking. Of course, studying physics also forms the basis for work in teaching at school and university.

The courses in medical physics prepare in particular for work as a medical physics expert in clinical practice or in medical-physical research.
Our consecutive Bachelor / Master course is certified by the German Society for Medical Physics as an access for professional recognition.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 30.04uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
