Physics Graz University of Technology (TU Graz)

Overview

During your studies at Physics from Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), you will receive a demanding, comprehensive physical-mathematical education. The broad basic training includes the following compulsory modules:

• Statistical Physics: You will acquire knowledge about statistical physics and quantum statistics.
• Advanced Quantum Mechanics: You will learn the principles of advanced quantum mechanics, such as the many-body theory, scattering theory and the interaction between radiation and matter.
• Introduction to General Relativity and Cosmology: You will receive an introduction to fundamental physical and mathematical concepts of general relativity. You will explore the current cosmological observations in more detail.

You then have the opportunity to specialise in one of five specialised subject areas: Astrophysics, Atmospheric Physics and Climate, Experimental Physics, Space Physics and Aeronomy, or Theoretical and Computational Physics.

Careers

Physicists work as highly qualified specialists in scientific, economic and industrial fields.

Graduates are highly qualified to work in a wide range of interdisciplinary professional fields both in Austria and abroad:

• You work in public and private research and educational institutions in physical-technical fields.

• You participate in large, international research collaborations.

• You work in modelling and simulation in scientific, technical and economic fields.

• You develop algorithms in a wide range of different fields.

• You work in and lead research and development departments in various industrial sectors, and especially in high-tech industry.

• You hold management positions in administration and logistics.
