In the Master's degree course, the project practical offers student the possibility of working on three projects in different work groups.
Special features regarding the international orientation
International study course with the possibility of specialisation in atmospheric physics, experimental and theoretical particle and astroparticle physics, material physics and statistical physics; Possibility of Bachelor and Master theses in cooperation with major international research institutions (CERN, DESY, IceCube, Pierre Auger Observatory, ILL Grenoble, Forschungszentrum Jülich).
Exchange universities for stay abroads
Ochanomizu Universität, Japan; Universidad Nacional de San Agustin, Peru; Universidad Nacional de San Martin, Argentinien; Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentinien; Universität Bukarest, Rumänien; Jagiellonischen Universität Krakau, Polen; Eötös Loránd Universität Budapest, Ungarn; Universität Santiago de Compostela, Spanien; National Technical University of Athens, Griechenland; Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble 1, Frankreich
