Master of Science in Physics
Further courses are offered under the headings "Elective courses in physics" (PW) and "Seminars for physics students" (PS). If you are interested in one of these courses offered in German, you may ask the lecturer whether the course could be taught in English.
In addition, you might take elective courses (NW) in natural sciences (outside of physics), engineering and preclinical medicine. In addition, certain courses in economics, and psychology may be chosen.To complete the master's program you need to obtain 120 ECTS credit points within 4 semesters. This period can be extended by up to 2 semesters.
The obligatory requirements are
at least one advanced theory course (TV, 10 ECTS)
at least one advanced experimental course (EV, 10 ECTS)
two advanced lab or computational physics courses (WP, 10 ECTS)
a physics seminar (PS, 5 ECTS)
a one-year research period comprising the master's thesis and physics seminar (FO, 60 ECTS).
The minimum requirements add up to 110 ECTS, The remainder can be fulfilled by TV, EV, PW or NW courses.
The abbreviations can be found in the course listings and refer to the examination regulations. The official version is available only in German For further questions please contact Prof. U. Katz

- This seminar will explore some of the diverse areas of research
in soft matter physics.
There will be an advance meeting to allocate topics, held on Monday 20 July 2015, at 14:00 in SR 01.683 (Theorie 1). Students are expected to prepare their talk during the term, with support by the tutors; results will be presented in a workshop at the end of the term, from 16 to 18 February 2016. Some of the topics, marked [num], offer the possibility to do an additional numerical
project as part of "CP2" (module WP-2). Foams and minimal surfaces
Liquid Foam Structure and Topology
Aging and coarsening of liquid foams (Evolver) [num]
Self-assembly of triply-periodic minimal surfaces
