Course description

At the Institute of Physics at the University of Kassel, our main research areas include the interaction between light and matter, quantum dynamics and control, nanostructures, laboratory astrophysics, magnetic layers, and surface physics. In our Master’s Programme in Physics, you’ll collaborate with internationally renowned scientists on cutting-edge issues in both basic and applied research. One of our special research areas, “Extreme Light for the Analysis and Control of Molecular Chirality” (ELCH), allows you to use advanced tools in experimental and theoretical atomic and molecular physics, as well as in optics and quantum optics (AMO). This research focuses on controlling and manipulating chirality at the single molecule level in the gas phase. In laboratory astrophysics, you can employ precision spectroscopy to study exotic molecules and clusters that are typically found only in interstellar space. You’ll compare your laboratory findings with astronomical observations to identify previously unknown molecules. In technical physics, you’ll analyze semiconductor nanostructures and nanophotonic components for optical communication and quantum information processing. You’ll also work on optimizing these components using semiconductor quantum dots. At the Centre for Interdisciplinary Nanostructure Science and Technology (CINSaT), you’ll engage in interdisciplinary

Qualification Requirements

Passed bachelor's examination in physics or equivalent (foreign) degree in the same or related field from another university or a university of applied sciences with a standard period of study of at least six semesters

Document Requirements

Copy of your university entrance qualification certificate Officially certified copy of your first professional university degree (certificate: e.g. Bachelor's degree, Diplom I, state examination). If you do not have a Bachelor's degree certificate at the time of application, please submit the following evidence: Preliminary overview of subjects and grades of your previous studies and the certificate on the status in your studies, completed and signed by your current examination office: Bescheinigung zum Stand im Studium. At the time of application, at least 80% of the credits required for graduation must have already been earned and passed. This equates to 144 out of 180 or 168 out of 210 credits. In addition, proof of admission to the Bachelor's thesis (indicating the date of submission) must be available. Further proof specified in the examination regulations (see above).
