About the Program
The M.Sc. study program "Particle Accelerator Science" is an English-language cooperative program between Technical University of Darmstadt (TUDa), Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and Goethe University Frankfurt am Main (GU) as part of the strategic alliance between the Rhein-Main Universities (RMU). The program combines the unique expertise of these three universities in accelerator science, providing students with a compact introduction to the field and a broad portfolio of electives to choose from according to their research interests. All three RMU partners are recognized for their outstanding expertise in physics and technology of particle accelerators, covering a wide technological spectrum and range of applications from nuclear and particle physics to biology, biophysics, medical technology, materials research, and atomic, quantum, laser and plasma physics. The universities operate local accelerators and test stands for cutting-edge research and cooperate with the international Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at the GSI Helmholtz Research Center for Heavy-ion Research (GSI). A Master's degree in Particle Accelerator Science provides a firm basis for career paths in fundamental and applied sciences, engineering and development, or medical or material research.
