About this programme

This Master's programme provides a comprehensive scientific education in advanced physics together with a specialisation in a particular field during a final, one-year Master's thesis. The thesis gives students the opportunity to participate in a cutting-edge research project. In the first year, participants consolidate their knowledge in advanced theoretical and experimental physics courses covering state-of-the-art topics in the institute's core areas of "Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Sciences", "Condensed Matter and Applied Physics", or "Particles, Fields and Cosmos". The programme runs over the course of four semesters (two years) and includes a final, one-year thesis, which is accomplished either directly at the Physics Institute or at one of the affiliated research institutions, e.g. the Freiburg Materials Research Center (FMF), the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), the Institute for Solar Physics (KIS), and the Freiburg Center for Data Analysis and Modelling (FDM).
