Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

The Master's program in Physics at Justus-Liebig-University Giessen is a consecutive study program that builds on relevant bachelor's degrees in physics. The program is research-oriented and highly individualized. The ability to develop problem solutions through innovative ideas, already acquired in the bachelor's program, is further deepened through independent work on smaller research projects, especially within the framework of the master's thesis. Students acquire methodological and scientific knowledge as well as professional and research-practical qualifications. The study is divided into a one-year basic education and a one-year in-depth and specialization study. In the second year of study, the research orientation of the program is reflected in a focus on project work. Students can specialize in one of the research focus areas of physics at JLU Giessen: 'Solid State and Surface Physics', 'Subatomic Physics', or 'Plasma and Space Physics'.
