Physics, B.Sc.
Are you interested in understanding the basic laws of nature and its processes?
The field of physics ranges from the world of the smallest, the elementary and nuclear particles, to the world of the largest, our cosmos. Like hardly any other science, physics shapes our ideas about the world. Its findings are the basis and prerequisite for technical development—and yet many of these findings are “only” relatively absolute. See for yourself.

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
During your studies you will acquire all the necessary skills to recognise problems, to get to the heart of such problem, to describe them by means of modelling and, finally, to solve them. As a graduate of TU Braunschweig, you will be able to work your way into the most diverse fields of activity quickly and efficiently in your future professional live.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
Physicists are at home in all fields where, in addition to a high degree of abstraction, it is also necessary to be able to break down problems into smaller pieces, which can be solved more easily, and to make them more understandable in order to arrive at practical solutions. In industry and business, physicists are playing a decisive role in the development of new products and technologies.

Studying at TU Braunschweig means that you can acquire specialised knowledge by taking elective modules in physics and other fields. This way, you will develop individual skills needed for your future career.
These days, you can find jobs not only in research institutions or in industry, but also, for example, in public authorities (e.g. in radiation protection), in organisation assessment or in business consultancy. Innovations in science and technology are continuously opening up new career opportunities.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | Understanding the world of “physis”, the inanimate nature, investigating its phenomena and solving its mysteries—that is the objective of physics. |
|---|---|
| Language | German C1 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | Directly to 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 directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 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.
