Physics
Bachelor of Science

The bachelor programme in physics offers a broad overview over the various fields of experimental and theoretical physics and related subjects. In addition, students of the programme will learn how to carry out experiments and use computer systems in physics research. An important aspect of studying physics is that it will sharpen the student’s analytical skills. The wide range of skills and the general problem-solving competence are an asset for physicists when it comes to looking for a job. Before entering the job market, most students join a Master programme in physics or a related field after they have earned a bachelor degree.
