Universität Osnabrück
Bachelor German + English Mathematics & Natural Sciences

Physics

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

The aim of physics is to grasp quantitative relationships in nature, to understand its elementary laws and to make the resulting phenomena usable. A few fundamental principles such as Newton's equations of motion, Schrödinger's equation, the principle of maximum entropy and the principle of relativity define the world and ultimately make it possible to provide diverse mechanisms for novel applications (semiconductor physics, laser physics, communication technology, nanomaterials). In addition to the classical focus on solid-state physics, optics, surface physics, computational physics and theoretical physics, the neighboring disciplines of biophysics, physical chemistry and nanostructured matter are also included. Physics in Osnabrück is characterized by close contact between the research groups and the students. Students can join one of the research groups in Experimental Physics, Theoretical Physics, Numerical Physics and Didactics of Physics early on in their studies.
