Department of Physics

The Department of Physics offers a portfolio of modern and well-structured courses. In addition to an excellent mentoring relationship between lecturers and students, all courses are characterized by the use of innovative teaching-learning methods and the latest media. In this way, students can not only calculate theoretical exercises during the first semester, but also compare the theory with smartphone and tablet-based experiments. In the physical beginner internships, they also experiment with intelligent data glasses (so-called smart glasses such as the Microsoft HoloLens) and thus learn how to deal with and assess future technologies at an early stage. Even in advanced courses, students receive individual feedback opportunities through voting tools, even during lectures with a larger number of participants. The new teaching-learning formats used in the Physics department give students a proven greater understanding of physics than in traditional formats and are therefore well prepared for the requirements of future professions. In the multimedia distance learning course Early Entry into Physics Studies (FiPS), students can start studying physics before they graduate from high school. The face-to-face studies can then be completed in a shorter period of time.
