About this programme

The Göttingen Master's programme in Physics offers you a broad and internationally renowned research spectrum with a highly flexible choice of subjects. This will lead you to a specialisation in one of the following areas of physics: Astro- and geophysics Biophysics and physics of complex systems Solid state physics and materials physics Nuclear and particle physics Theoretical physics In general, the programme will include one year of coursework and a subsequent thesis phase (second year) that will be spent in one of the research groups. More specifically, due to the close connection with several local Max Planck Institutes and other leading research centres on the Göttingen Campus, you will be able to choose from more than 60 research groups when writing your thesis (for details, see: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/physics-research-groups ). The internship module allows you to be involved in cutting-edge research at an early stage of your studies.
