The reasons that speak in favour of studying physics at the University of Wuppertal:
- Individual and intensive supervision by lecturers
- Cutting-edge research in the department
- Stays abroad at major research institutions or other research groups
- Industry contacts of the department
- Intensive work with and on computers
- Various study programmes for the subject of physics
At the university of Wuppertal, physics students have the opportunity to receive individual and intensive support from their lecturers. The course sizes allow students' problems to be addressed. Teachers are always ready to listen to questions.
The Department of Physics at the University of Wuppertal conducts cutting-edge research in various fields of physics. This ranges from solid state physics, particle physics and atmospheric physics to medical imaging.
This is particularly interesting for the Master's in Physics, where you can choose one of various specialisations. But even in the Bachelor's programme, students benefit from the high quality of teaching and the choice of specialisations.
There are various options for students interested in studying abroad. On the one hand, there is cooperation with other universities via the ERASMUS programme:
However, the Physics department also has contacts with major international research institutions such as DESY, CERN or ESRF and various research groups in Europe, North and South America, Asia etc. through its research.
Many of the research groups at the University of Wuppertal are in good contact with various companies and areas of industry. Students who complete their theses in the relevant research groups benefit from these contacts.
The Wuppertal research groups work with and on the most diverse aspects of computers. These include, for example, hardware and software development, networks and parallel computers, data processing, numerical methods, machine learning and artificial intelligence. The physics degree programme at the University of Wuppertal offers the opportunity to actively participate in these developments.
Various degree programmes in physics are available at the University of Wuppertal. On the one hand, these are the classic Bachelor's or Master's degree programmes in Physics. On the other hand, it is also possible to study Physics with another subject in the Bachelor's programme. This is possible in the Bachelor of Applied Science for the subjects Mathematics, Computer Science and Chemistry and in the Combinatorial Bachelor of Arts with all other subjects offered in a combined degree programme. In addition, various Master of Education degree programmes are offered for physics with the career aspiration of becoming a teacher. With this broad selection of different degree programmes, Wuppertal offers physics students the opportunity to specialise in different directions.
