Physics Interdisciplinary (B.Sc.)
Features
The four-year “Physics Interdisciplinary” degree program offers a choice of seven exciting minor subjects in addition to a full physics bachelor's degree: from biology and chemistry to data science, computer science, mathematics, philosophy and economics. The minor subject accounts for 25% of the degree course and allows students to set a second focus - not only in related disciplines, but also in the humanities and social sciences. The degree program thus opens up a wide range of career paths and graduates have the ability not only to react flexibly to a constantly changing working world, but also to actively help shape it. “Physics Interdisciplinary” is relevant for all prospective students who want to develop a deep understanding of physics and at the same time pursue an interest in other subject areas. This makes it the perfect degree program for visionary talents who want to take a networked perspective and master the challenges of the future. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Details
Our Bachelor degree program aims to provide students with a broad education in physics and neighboring disciplines. The curriculum has a strong emphasis in math and physics. The career opportunities for physics graduates are as diverse as the field itself. They include: research and development, management or administration in industrial laboratories or technical sales, electronic design or laser instrument research. Physics graduates may also enter a wide variety of graduate programs; for example Condensed Matter & Materials Sciences, Astro- and Particle Physics and Biophysics and Complex systems.
The classes of physics require a good basis of physics, mathematics, chemistry, and at a higher level English. This basis is the "Abiturwissen" of a basic physics course in German high school. Not all students take mathematics up to the end of school. We offer a preparatory course which is intended to bring all freshmen up to the same level. We highly recommend this class to students. It is currently only available in German.
