Labs with modern equipment; powerful computer clusters and CIP computer rooms; excellent research infrastructure; own helium liquefaction system; cooperations enhanced by close proximity of work groups and research institutions (modern campus university); research-related advanced practicals; numerous e-books free of charge for students; well-equipped natural science library; access to mathematical software, in particular computer algebra systems (including expensive commercial products); good lecture theatres with appropriate technology.

Focus on Solid-State Physics on a high international level; research on all length and time scales, starting from nanostructures to mesoscopic systems to macro systems or rather from Ultra-Short Physics to Long-Term Dynamics; Inter-disciplinary links within and outside the university with Biology, Chemistry, Geosciences, Energy and Fusion research as well as the Computer Sciences; regular international workshops in Bayreuth with opportunities to make contact with leading scientists.

Business Plan Competitions; International Business Plan Competition (Master's event); 5-Euro-Business; Bayreuth Hospitation; Entrepreneurial Thinking & Business Design (Master's event); Seminar Series of the Startup Advisory Service; Startup Stories; Startup Day; Social Entrepreneurship Camp & Social Entrepreneurship Seminar.

Close contact between lecturers and students; good collaboration in research and teaching by students; active departmental student organisation; guest lectures from renowned researchers following student selection every semester; Teaching Qualification for grammar school level is currently only offered in Bavaria in Bayreuth and at the TU München as a Bachelor's/Master's course; family-friendly institution of higher education: childcare facilities on the campus; the Department of Physics at the Universität Bayreuth is a popular host for Humboldt scholarship holders.
