Good support in the form of small groups thanks to "dual support"; A very good teacher-student ratio (1 professor for about every 22 students); Programming internship in the first semester; Innovative internships (project groups, modern electronics internships); "Electronic Service Centre" (students have access to the electronics internship equipment and can independently design circuits that create and assemble circuit boards); New high-quality CIP pool; Broad range of specialisations in the master's degree programme; Research field of study that is unique in Germany; Specialised English courses for physicists.

Option of aligning the master's degree requirements through module studies; Range of specialist English courses.

The Master's degree programme in Physics is offered in English, as is the Master's part of the research degree course. The ERASMUS+ programme supports students who complete stays abroad (with a dedicated Erasmus coordinator for physics). Students are involved in international research cooperations of the work groups, the proportion of students of a class who take advantage of this option for exchange is about 35 percent.
