- The Master’s degree programme in Physics is taught primarily in English.
Students can decide to take their examinations for the seminars, lab courses, basic and specialisation subjects in English or German. The language of instruction and examination in the non-physics minor subjects is either English or German and is based on the courses offered in the minor course catalogue.
The Physics Master's can thus be studied entirely in English.

- Description/content
- The Master's degree programme in Physics at TU Dresden aims to consolidate insights into interrelations between different areas of physics as well as connections to neighbouring disciplines.
During the one-year research phase, you will acquire the necessary skills to become acquainted with current topics in physics, to design and conduct experiments or develop theoretical methods in this field, to categorise the results and to draw conclusions for applications to technical developments and for general scientific progress.
The specialisation areas are:
• Applied Physics and Photonics
• Solid State and Materials Physics
• Particle and Nuclear Physics
• Theoretical Physics
• Soft Matter Physics and Biophysics
Collaboration with other subject areas in the natural sciences, technology and the humanities in 12 minor subjects, each with multiple elective topics, guarantees a diverse profile for acquiring a basic understanding of topics in other subject areas and the necessary skills for interdisciplinary work. Examples of minor subjects are:
• Mathematics
• Bio Mathematics
• Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Nano-Electronics,
• Civil Engineering, Energy Technologies, Aviation and Aerospace Engineering, Hydrogen and Nuclear Energy Technologies
• Chemistry (organic, inorganic)
• Biology, Molecular Biology
• Computer Science
• Philosophy
• Materials Science, Nano-Science
• Economics, Business Administration
