Physics

The Master's programme Physics at KIT offers an environment to pursue studies at the forefront of research. The close combination of university education and research done in large-scale facilities of the Helmholtz Association is unique for the German university landscape. The whole breadth of modern physics including quantum science, condensed matter physics, particle- and astroparticle physics, meteorology and climate physics and geophysics is taught by leading experts in their fields. During the first two semesters, you can choose from a wide range of special lectures, both in theory and applied physics, on research topics of the department. From the spectrum of specialisation fields, both in theory and experiment, you choose a major, a second major, and a minor, which you pursue with varying intensity. In addition, you will complete an advanced physics laboratory course and interdisciplinary qualifications. The programme concludes with two semesters in preparing and working on your Master's thesis in a research group of your choice on an original problem in modern research.
