Programs at the Institute of Physics (in German)

Study

Students can find the best conditions at the Institute of Physics. Small group sizes ensure excellent support during the studies.
The modern building at the science campus offers outstanding conditions for an intensive study - with tight connections to state-of-the-art research.

In addition to traditional Physics courses (Bachelor and Master of Science), the Institute of Physics also provides a program in Environmental Sciences (BSc), an interdisciplinary study of physics and chemistry, ecology, microbiology, geology and mathematics, supplemented by events of laws and economics.

Starting with the winter semester 2020/2021 a program of Teaching of physics for secondary/grammar school and starting with the winter semester 2021/2022 a program for Medical Physics is offered.

Associated institutes

Greifswald is a center of plasma physics, with the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP Greifswald) and the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP), hosting the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator experiment.
