Physics: University of Leipzig

The Bachelor's course together with the Master's course continues the traditional university education in physics. This concerns lectures and exercises in experimental and theoretical physics, in mathematics as well as laboratory courses which will provide a broad and applicable knowledge in physics and mathematics: Experimental Physics (Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Acoustics, Heat, Electrics, Magnetism, Optics, Nuclear- Molecular- and Solid State Physics); Introductory and Advanced Physics Laboratory Courses; Mathematics (Linear Algebra, Advanced Differential and Integral Calculus, Sequences and Series, Complex Analysis, Abstract Spaces, Measure and Probability Theory, Distributions, Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations); Theoretical Physics (Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetic Field Theory, Special Relativity, Thermodynamics, Introductory Quantum Mechanics and Statistical Physics); Bachelor's thesis. The non-physics subjects provides an introduction to chemistry or computer science. The key qualification modulus concerns a choice from a certain offer of courses at Leipzig University.

The Bachelor's programme provides the basic knowledge, capabilities and scientific methods for independent business and research work in physics or related topics. The graduates are able to pursue further scientific education. Traditional fields of physicists' employment are microelectronics, construction of scientific and medical devices, fine mechanics, engineering, optics, chemical industry and communication technology. Due to the analytic research concepts and problem-solving strategies physicists have learned, they often work in fields seemingly unrelated to physics. Graduates of our programme are invited to continue their education in our Master's programme in physics or in a related subject.
