Our bachelor program teaches the basics of modern physics. In three years, our students obtain a solid knowledge in mathematics, experimental and theoretical physics via lectures, lab courses, tutorials and seminars. While our master's program is in English, the bachelor is taught in German

In two years, our master's students extend their knowledge and skills considerably and specialize in one or several areas of physics. An important element of the master's program in Cologne is the Master's thesis which brings our students in contact with the frontier of current research. The lectures of the Master's program are given in English.

Cologne offers a broad range of possibilities to participate in cutting-edge research in some of the most exciting fields in physics. Typically, a doctoral degree is obtained 3 years after the Master?s (or diploma) degree (or 5 years after the Bachelor).

Directed towards gifted physics students with a Bachelors degree in physics, the Bonn-Cologne Graduate School of Physics and Astronomy is a 5-year graduate honors program leading directly to the PhD. The Graduate School is proud to be among the winners of the German Excellence Iniative as of October 2007.

We assist talented and committed student of physics with their applications for appropriate grants and scholarships.

Das Bachelorstudium des Unterichtsfachs Physik kombiniert Teile der Bachelor- und Master-Studiengänge Physik mit eigens konzipierten Vorlesungen in theoretischer und experimenteller Physik, sowie mit Veranstaltungen in Physikdidaktik und einem erziehungswissenschaftlichen Begleitstudium. Es bereitet auf den Lehrerberuf an Gymnasien und Gesamtschulen vor und wird mit einem Bachelor of Arts abgeschlossen.

Our physics teacher education is based on courses of the bachelor and master program, special theoretical and experimental courses for physics teachers and general lectures in didactics and education. The program concludes with the ?first state examination? in physics and a second field. Most lectures are in German.

The diploma is the former German physics degree which is now replaced by the Bachelor and Master degrees. Since the winter semester 06/07 students in their first semester can only enroll in the Bachelor program. Here you can find current information (in German) on the Diploma program, which is currently phasing out.

Lectures of the department of physics can be used in a large number of other bachelor programs. Here you can find information on the courses ?physics for medical students? and ?physics for scientists?.

To interested schools, the physics department offers the opportunity of close collaboration. We support internship and research projects designed for pupils and arrange regularly special events for schools, pupils and teachers. (in German)
