About this programme
The MSc Physics programme, which is taught in English, allows for specialisation in the areas of "Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics" or "High Energy Density in Matter". Within your chosen specialisation, you can go further in-depth or study other subject areas. The content of the Master's programme can be chosen on a completely individual basis. The programme includes in-depth and special lectures as well as courses in the field of experimental and theoretical physics. The following specialisations are possible: Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics High Energy Density in Matter Or an individual specialisation In addition, students can choose interdisciplinary courses from the course catalogue of the Technische Universität Darmstadt to expand their knowledge. A one-year research phase complements this broad spectrum. The international Master's programme in Physics is a four-semester programme. The first two semesters consist of lectures and seminars. You will complete the "Practical Introduction to Scientific Research" in the third semester, followed by a Master's thesis in the fourth semester. This gives you the opportunity to work on a research project for a whole year. PDF Download

Prerequisites
The programme leading to the degree of Master of Science in Physics is designed as a challenging and research-oriented Master's programme and continues as a consecutive programme after the Bachelor of Science in Physics, which is taught in German. Admission to the Master's degree programme requires knowledge of physics and mathematics to an extent that can be acquired in the German-taught degree programme leading to a Bachelor of Science in "Physik" at the TU Darmstadt. The following is required for admission: To understand and analyse problems in physics based on expert knowledge of the fundamentals of physics and basic knowledge in mathematics and natural sciences To have knowledge of the content relationships both between the individual core subjects of physics and between physics and other disciplines To be able to select suitable physical methods for processing tasks from current research and development, and the ability to develop conceptual solutions and to implement them practically as well as to familiarise oneself with new methods in physics To critically reflect on scientific methods and results To work alone as well as in teams and in interdisciplinary environments To document work in writing according to scientific standards To prepare work orally and communicate both with a specialist audience and the non-specialist public To recognise and assess subject-specific, social and ethical aspects and consequences of their actions To play a decisive role in shaping social processes critically, reflectively and with a sense of responsibility and democratic public spirit
