This master program is consecutive and regularly based on the Bachelor degree in Technical Physics or related scientific or engineering degrees. Transfer from existing diploma degrees is possible.
Candidates are expected to possess an excellent knowledge of Physics and expertise in Mathematics and Chemistry. Familiarity with the framework of scientific and working methods of physicists is required, with those of engineers is strongly suggested. Based upon this expertise, the Master degree in Technical Physics provides a close connection between teaching and research in the groups of the Institute of Physics and in related engineering departments.
The wide range from physical knowledge to application-oriented work is what makes physics studies at the TU Ilmenau so special. The two-semester research phase in particular challenges the skills acquired to find solutions to scientific and application-oriented questions. There are short lines of communication between students and lecturers. The Master's thesis can also be completed in a company or a research institute.
Students are involved in research at the Institute of Physics right from the start and can also carry out their own projects in the laboratories. The teaching staff, with their numerous contacts to research institutions and industry, are on hand to help students tailor their studies to their individual needs and subject-specific requirements. The opportunity to spend time abroad, exchange ideas with international students and scientists and work in student associations strengthens students' professional, social and methodological skills.
