The Master's programme in Physics at the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf is a programme which is specially tailored to let the students take advantage of our particular strengths. The main research topics at the Department of Physics are soft matter physics, solid state physics & nanophysics, quantum optics & quantum information, plasma physics and medical physics\biophysics. Every Master's student has to choose two of these research topics as focus areas. Each focus area contains an experimental as well as a theoretical module. At the end of the programme, research work is carried out in one of the research groups at the Department of Physics during the Master's thesis. Additional modules in other areas of physics, such as laser physics, astrophysics, computational physics, and advanced quantum mechanics are offered on a regular basis.
A GCQ360 counsellor can help you with eligibility, documents, and your application timeline.
In the first year, the modules typically consist of lectures in combination with exercise classes. In the second year, the emphasis is on seminars, practical courses, and research work. First year: two focus areas (two modules each) to be chosen from our main research topics four elective physics modules to be chosen from the remaining research topics: laser physics, computational physics, astrophysics, advanced quantum mechanics, and others general elective modules (typically German language courses for international students) Second year: state-of-the-art research in one of the focus areas at an international level first half of second year: additional elective physics modules and specialisation module (emphasis on practical training of methods and tools for research work; detailed knowledge up to the state-of-the art level) second half of second year: thesis research (experimental or theoretical; guided, but independent) in the chosen specialisation We encourage the personal interaction between students and teachers. We enjoy an excellent teacher-student ratio. | German language courses: Yes | English language courses: Yes
