Overview

The aim of the MSc Physics from TU Dresden is a deepening of insights into relationships between different areas of physics and in relationships with neighboring disciplines. Students formulate, analyze and solve complex physical problems and tasks by combining their knowledge from different branches of physics.

General information for the degree programme

In one of five fields of specialization they acquire a complete overview of the established knowledge, new developments and unresolved issues. During the one-year research phase students acquire the ability to become familiar with current physical problems, to develop and implement experimental or theoretical methods, to categorize results, and to draw conclusions for technical developments and the progress of science.

The Master's programme in Dresden is divided into a one-year instructional phase and a one-year research phase. In the first two semesters, the students will receive instruction not only in their chosen specialisation area, but also in all branches of physics. The languages of instruction are German or English, depending on the chosen course; in all courses students can choose the language in which they take examinations. German students do not need proof of language skills. Independence is very important, even in the first two semesters.
