Physics, B.Sc.
Physics is concerned above all with the analysis of basic processes in our universe and their mathematical description. At the same time, it makes important contributions to the specific and innovative development of techniques and technologies in industry and to solutions for global problems such as environmental protection and energy consumption.
The programme develops students´ skills in experimental physics, incl. mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, quantum physics, etc. and competences in theoretical physics, incl. electrodynamics, statistical physics, etc.

How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →What you study
The bachelor's degree in physics has a modular structure and is designed for 6 semesters.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
Physicists work in a wide variety of professional fields that require physical, analytical or problem-solving skills. For example, physicists work in numerous research institutions in industry or public institutions. Physicists can work in development or production departments in industry or at universities or colleges in Germany or abroad. In addition, physicists also work in industry or government, for which the physics degree serves as the basis and for which further specialist knowledge has been acquired through postgraduate studies and professional practice.

In contrast to the job description of many other courses, the graduates of the course are not restricted to a narrow subject area. Rather, the broad knowledge of the fundamentals of natural processes enables a quick introduction to neighboring disciplines (natural science, technology, medicine), among others. also in completely newly emerging areas of knowledge.

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 15.07uni-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.
