Physics, B.Sc.
Physics is the fundamental science of nature. Phenomena on the atomic level up to cosmic dimensions are traced back to a few principles. Many extraordinarily exciting research areas are developing within this specialist culture, which are also influencing more and more neighboring disciplines. The rapid technical progress in micro, nano and biotechnology, in medical technology, laser physics and the use of solar energy is often based on physical knowledge.

Will I get in
Every applicant who meets the formal requirements is admitted — but places can run out before the deadline, so apply at the start of the window.
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
On the one hand, physics is about exploring and understanding the principles and laws that nature obeys from the largest to the smallest dimensions. On the other hand, extremely complex systems are examined, which can result from the interaction of simple basic principles. The description and calculation of physical relationships is carried out with the help of mathematical methods.
Therefore, at the beginning of the bachelor's degree, the focus is on mathematics in addition to experimental physics, laboratory practicals and theoretical physics. During your studies, you will learn the basic methods and ways of thinking in physics. Among other things, you will deal with the most important basics of classical mechanics, electricity, magnetism, electrodynamics as well as radiation and wave optics, quantum mechanics, the structure of matter, thermodynamics, atomic, nuclear and elementary particle physics.
Further focal points include mastering basic methods of experimental work and acquiring theoretical and practical knowledge of electronics and computer-aided process control, data acquisition, processing and analysis.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
Our modern civilization is based on science and technology. Accordingly, physicists are needed in the most diverse areas of society - in scientific research at universities and research institutes; in the research and development departments of companies, especially in the field of high technology and information technology; in conveying science to the media and the public. Due to the skills they acquired during their studies in analytical thinking and computer-aided problem solving, physics graduates often work in apparently unrelated areas such as banking or management, administration and politics.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | If you want to study physics, you should definitely enjoy understanding nature and logical, abstract thinking. |

| Application | uni-assist (VPD) + the university, winter semester until 15.07 |
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 uni-assist (VPD) + the university 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.
