Technische Physik – Engineering Physics, B.Eng.
With the combination of scientific courses and practical experience, the Engineering Physics program provides you with skills and experience to develop new technologies and interdisciplinary engineering projects. Apart from profound basics in natural sciences, the students acquire practice-oriented skills from engineering and applied computer sciences.
In this versatile study program the students learn how to solve problems scientifically and thus are prepared to meet the needs of future development and advances in technology.

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
Due to the different professional orientation of the universities involved in this field of study, the students get an insight into the broad spectrum of physics, such as sensor and actuator technology, optoelectronics and computer science. The practical semester in Germany or abroad and the bachelor thesis enable early contacts to industrial practice.

Students in Engineering Physics can switch to one of the other two courses until the end of the second semester:
In contrast to other engineering courses, Engineering Physics allows a stronger look behind the scenes - scientific working methods, mathematical-physical understanding and the "why" are the focus.
On the one hand, the bachelor's degree course is based on a basic understanding of physical concepts, on the other hand, the students benefit from the research focuses of the participating universities. At Coburg University of Applied Sciences, these are in the field of sensor and actuator technology, in Shanghai in optics engineering.
What you study
Semester 1 and 2 (in Coburg, teaching language: German) During the first year, students will be provided with a fundamental knowledge in natural sciences like physics (optics, thermodynamics) and chemistry, mathematics and applied computer science. These topics are combined with classes in engineering like computer aided design, measurement and control technology as well as applied electronics. Supervised laboratory courses complete the lectures.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
Engineering physicists can be found everywhere, where physical phenomena can be implemented into innovative techniques. Because of the broad scientific education, Engineering Physics allows the graduates to work on technological innovations in the areas of industrial research and development. Areas might include autonomous driving, biophysics, renewable energy and medical physics. Moreover, our graduates work in environmental measuring technologies and aerospace.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | A school certificate that gives access to university in Germany — directly or after a Studienkolleg. |
|---|---|
| Language | German C1, English B1 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | Via uni-assist, 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 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.
