Overview

The Master’s degree program gives an insight into current research trends in modern applied physics. Possible areas for specialization within the Master's program are: 

  • Applied solid state physics – including topics such as magnetism, semiconductor physics,applied superconductivity, spin electronics
  • Energy sciences – including topics such as fuel cells, energy conversion, reactor physics and nuclear technology, nonlinear dynamics and complex systems, renewable energy.
  • Experimental techniques and numerical methods – including topics such as physics with neutrons, modern x-ray physics, advanced materials analysis with synchroton radiation, magnetic measurement methods.
  • High energy physics – including topics such as particle detectors, particle physics with highest energy particle colliders, computational physics, data analysis and Monte Carlo methods.
  • Medical engineering – including topics such as image processing in physics, biomedical physics.
  • Nanosciences – including topics such as nanosystems, nanomaterials, nanostructured soft materials, surface and nanoscale science.
  • Plasma physics – including topics such as plasma physics, fusion research, kinetic plasma physics, magneto hydrodynamics, turbulence in neutral fluids and plasmas.
  • Soft matter science – including topics such as polymer physics, nanostructured soft materials.
  • Science of light – including topics such as quantum optics, ultrafast physics and attosecond science, various light sources from infrared to X-rays, optoelectronics, ultra cold quantum gases. 

Structure

The Master's program is divided in a course phase of advanced studies in the first two semesters and a research phase in the second year.

During the advanced studies students chose modules from the theoretical physics catalog and a number of special courses from the comprehensive offer. These special courses deal with selected topics of modern physics and reach the frontiers of actual research. Here the diversity of the research activities of our Physics Department is visible and accessible to the students. A student seminar, the advanced lab course and the non-physics elective courses, which give an insight into related sciences of the student's choice complete the profile. A mentor supports students in choosing the courses.

The research phase brings the students directly in contact with current topics of research in physics. After a period of vocational adjustment (Master's seminar and Master's training, 3rd semester) students work on their own research project for the Master's thesis. An intense supervision during the whole research phase is assured by the large number of senior scientists at the campus Garching and students benefit from the excellent research environment with a broad national and international research network.
