Overview

Research methods, independent and responsible action, strategic methodological planning, and the critical assessment of scientific findings form the focus of the program. The Physics MSc course at University of Hamburg aims to enable students to carry out scientific work independently and to prepare them for doctoral studies. Opportunities exist to participate in research projects at institutes such as the Center for Optical Quantum Technologies (ZOQ), Center for Free Electron Laser Science (CFEL), and DESY.

Career Opportunities

Excellent opportunities exist for physics graduates on the job market. Physics graduates work in diverse fields, carrying out tasks of an increasingly interdisciplinary nature. Physicists typically work in research facilities and institutions as well as at universities. Physics graduates are also employed by companies specializing in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, medical device manufacturing, semiconductor production, energy generation, data processing, and software development, or as experts in engineering companies and scientific journals. Further opportunities exist in public administration, for example, at verification and testing agencies, or the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz, BfS).
