- Description/content
- The students of our Master's programme benefit from an exceptionally wide range of research opportunities, providing them with a choice of more than 50 research groups. During the Master's degree programme, our students benefit from a number of unique programmes that are offered by the MAINZ School of Excellence (MAterials Science IN MainZ), the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence (Precision Physics, Fundamental Interactions and Structure of Matter), the Research Training Group, and the nearby Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and Polymers Research.
While our Physics programmes are internationally recognised for their strong focus on research, the excellent student-to-faculty ratio allows for lectures on a remarkably wide range of topics.
The exact programme content depends on the specialised subjects chosen. Please find more detailed information about the content in our module handbook, which is attached under "Course organisation".
We also have an Excellence Track for especially qualified MSc programme applicants, generally those in the top 15% of their respective BSc classes. See the website (https://physik.uni-mainz.de/en/excellence-track-eng/) for the separate application details and deadline.
