Technical Physics

About this programme

The Bachelor's Programme “Technische Physik” (hereafter: Technical Physics) aims to provide a comprehensive foundational education in physics and its applications. The focus is on teaching the modern physical worldview, such as quantum theory, relativity, statistical physics, and the structure of matter, which shape our current understanding of the microcosm as well as the development of the universe. Mastery of these concepts requires intensive mathematical training during the first three semesters of the bachelor's program. The insights of modern physics also form the basis for a wide range of technological developments in electronics, nanotechnology, medicine, energy technology, and more. Therefore, the bachelor's program includes thorough laboratory and electronics training, technical mechanics, and technology courses to enable the practical application of these concepts. There is no selection procedure for the Bachelor's Degree Programme in Technical Physics. Instead, before being admitted, you must engage with the contents of the programme as part of the so-called Study Preparation and Reflection Phase (Programme-PRe-Phase). The most important requirement for studying Technical Physics, in addition to meeting the formal entry requirements, is an interest in today’s physical world, fundamental relationships and technical applications. You should be able to deal with abstract topics, have a positive attitude towards maths, and a talent for applying knowledge to practice. The Bachelor’s Programme in Technical Physics also provides a sound educational background for ca
