The international Master's program in Physics is a two years program. The first year consists of lectures, seminars and lab courses. The second year is dedicated to an individual research project. The program starts every year in the winter semester. Hence, a start of studies in the summer semester is not recommended. The international Master’s curriculum is organized along six different tracks, see list below. For each track the first year of Master’s studies has several mandatory courses as well as elective courses. The elective courses can be chosen from the many specialisation courses offered by Aachen physics faculty, researchers at the research center in Jülich as well as elective courses from other related Master’s programs (biophysics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, laser technology, material science etc.). An overview of these courses is available in the Course Module Catalogue. The available specialised courses can vary from term-to-term or year-to-year. The curriculum is set up to offer maximum flexibility and allows students to select courses which prepare them to achieve the research goals of the second Master's year.
