Special features regarding teaching
The Heidelberg Department of Physics is among the largest in Germany. It has a graduate school and is involved in two clusters of excellence within the framework of the Excellence Strategy. Its research is unusually diversified in other respects too (e.g. Environmental Physics, Image Processing). The range of teaching includes special lines of in-depth study. Good basic equipment (e.g. CIP computer rooms, modern lecture theatres and practical rooms).
Exchange universities for stay abroads
Universität Helsinki, Finnland; Université Paris Sud XI, Frankreich; Imperial College London, Großbritannien; University College London, Großbritannien; Universität Padua, Italien; Universität Leiden, Niederlande; Universität Bergen, Norwegen; Technische Universität Stockholm, Schweden; Universität Uppsala, Schweden; Autonome Universität Barcelona, Spanien
Special features regarding the equipment
In addition to an Aeolotron (large scale facility), well-equipped labs in many areas of Physics are available for research. Close cooperation with external large-scale research establishments (for example, CERN, DESY, DKFZ, GSI, KIT) makes further opportunities for research available.
Special features regarding research activities
Within the research, there are a lot of cooperations with numerous partners. There are particularly close links to other universities and research institutions in Heidelberg and the vicinity (e.g. Max Planck Institutes in Heidelberg, DKFZ, EMBL, Universität Mannheim, KIT, GSI). The Universität Heidelberg is a member of the League of European Research Universities (LERU), the Coimbra Group and the 4EU+ European University Alliance.
