Special features regarding teaching

Intensive teaching evaluation (questionnaires and personal evaluation discussion by student delegation with the lecturers); OPAL learning platform for online learning including forum function for discussion of content; exceptionally large number of lectures specially tailored to the Teaching Qualification (including the entire theory); cross-subject lectures and tutorials in Experimental and Theoretical Physics in the Master's course; bilingual Master's degree in Physics in which the students can choose the examination language; exceptionally large number of minor subject choices in the Master's degree course (25 topics, six in English)

Exchange universities for stay abroads

Loughborough University, UK; Università degli Studi di Parma, Italien; Linköping Universitet, Institue of Technology, Schweden; AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakau, Polen; Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal; NTNU Trondheim, Norwegen; Aix Marseille University, Frankreich; Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA), Frankreich; Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spanien; Universität de Valencia, Spanien

Special features regarding the equipment

Access to large-scale research equipment also on site: High-field magnet lab HLD and electron accelerator ELBE at the Helmholtz Centre Dresden-Rossendorf; joint technology platform of the TU Dresden and non-university institutions within the scope of the "Dresden-concept" association; access to high-performance computers of the TU Dresden.

Special features regarding research activities

Research in Solid State Physics, Nuclear and Particle Physics, Biophysics (Experiment and Theory), Theory of Complex Quantum Systems and Didactics; close links with the Dresden Leibniz, Max-Planck, Helmholtz and Fraunhofer institutes as well as industry; internationally unique concentration of fundamental (e.g. Correlated Electron Systems) and applied (e.g. Organic light-emitting diode/solar cells) research in the fields of Solid State Physics and Materials Science, Collaborative Research Center 1143, Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat and Physics of Life; participation in the ATLAS project (CERN); Laboratory for Nuclear Astrophysics.

Support for founders

The university-wide service "dresden exists" supports between 50 and 70 start-up ideas each year, from which around 20 companies emerge. Many of the start-up ideas supported received prizes and awards.
