- Description/content
- The MSc Physics is part of a full-scale education programme of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, starting at undergraduate level (BSc in Physics), continuing at Master's level, and culminating in a structured doctoral programme.
The four-semester Master's programme consists of a small compulsory part...
• Module: Advanced Quantum Theory
• Module: Research Lab Work in Physics
• Module: Advanced seminar in a field of research
… and a wide range of elective courses. The student specialises in one of the following fields of research:
• optics/photonics
• gravitational and quantum theory
• solid state physics/material science
• astronomy/astrophysics
The topic of the Master's thesis is also chosen from these fields.
Specialising in one of the four following fields of research is a key element of our study programme:
• optics/photonics: laser physics, plasma physics, image processing, non-linear optics, quantum optics, biophotonics, lens design, optical modelling, fibre optics, ultrafast optics, nanooptics, instrumentation
• gravitational and quantum theory: general relativity, quantum field theory and string theory, as well as more specialised courses on relativistic astrophysics, numerical relativity, gravitational waves, computational physics, physics of the quantum vacuum, supersymmetry, atomic theory, cosmology, ads/cft
• solid state physics/material science: superconductivity, nuclear solid state physics, solid state optics, optoelectronics, semiconductors, electronics structure theory, polymer physics, material science,
• astronomy/astrophysics: stellar physics, celestial mechanics, laboratory astrophysics, astronomical lab work, observational techniques, terra astronomy, historical astronomy, planetary systems, solar systems, neutron stars
