The Elective subjects Master I and Master II subject aquaint students with another field of research and to corroborate interdisciplinary knowledge.

The Elective Subjects Master I and Master II  cover advanced courses with 16 credit points in total. In general, the courses are from topics in Natural Sciences. Lectures with exercises and/or courses with a different structure (e.g. seminars or practical courses) are creditable.

It is possible to choose courses from the lists below (mostly courses outside of physics) or from the list of Secondary Areas of Specialization, including the modules offered by the University of Bonn. The courses have to be different from Primary Area of Specialization and Secondary Area of Specialization.
