Physics, B.Sc.
Physics explores states and processes in nature with the aim of finding universally valid quantitative laws for their description. Their specific way of working with the interaction of experiment and theory, the diverse applications of their results, e.g. in technology, and the strong penetration of physical theories with mathematical models make physics a versatile science.

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 →About the programme
Physics is indispensable for understanding our world and for solving its technical and environmental problems in the future. In addition to the fundamental question "... what keeps the world together at its core ...", physicists at the TU Berlin are primarily concerned with problems arising from technical applications. Most technical innovations have become possible only through the previous clarification of physical fundamentals. A current example is nanotechnology, which now affects almost all areas of life. Their realization is based on research results of solid-state physics and quantum theory.

Physicists will continue to be involved in finding new sources of energy or reducing environmental impact.
What you study
In cooperation with the Physics Commission (PK) and the responsible lecturers of the respective courses, the Physics Study Consortium has established an optimized (non-overlapping) course schedule for all compulsory lectures in physics for the winter and summer semesters.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
Unlike professional education, the program does not train for a specific job. Therefore, it is important for the determination of the job description to explore possible fields of application during the course of the studies and on one's own initiative. Here, the offers of the Career Service can support and the contact points of the study counselors like to give hints. But also student initiatives, professional associations or professional fairs help with orientation in the labor market jungle.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | A school certificate that gives access to university in Germany — directly or after a Studienkolleg. |
|---|---|
| Language | German C1 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | Via uni-assist, winter semester until 31.08, summer semester until 28.02 |
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 28.02uni-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.
