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.

Path Integrals (lecture) -
- Angaben:
- Vorlesung, 2 SWS
- Studienrichtungen / Studienfächer:
- WF Ph-MA ab 1
- Inhalt:
- Content: This lecture presents Feynman's path integral approach to non-relativistic quantum mechanics. After the presentation of the basic concept we will discuss several exactly solvable models, study methods for exact evaluations as well as approximations such as the quasi-classical solution. In a second part we will consider applications in statistical physics and stochastic processes.
The morning lecture is dedicated the presentation of general formalism and concepts which then will be applied in the afternoon tutorial for a deeper understanding.
