Physics

In this respect, it is strongly recommended that students continue with a master's degree in physics after completing their bachelor's degree in physics. For graduates with a four-year Bachelor's degree in Physics (or comparable degree), the one-year Master's programme consists of the project study for the Master's thesis (30 ECTS credits) and the Master's thesis (30 ECTS credits). Both are usually carried out in the supervisor's working group. At the beginning of the Master's programme, an application for admission to the Master's examination must be submitted. The relevant form is available from the Examination Office. The topic of the Master's thesis must be assigned within six weeks of admission to the Master's examination. The Master's examination must be completed within 12 months of the assignment of the Master's thesis topic. The assignment of the Master's thesis topic is a prerequisite for the start of the project study. Graduates with a three-year Bachelor's degree in Physics (or comparable degree) can also be admitted to the Master's programme in Physics at the University of Tübingen. In this case, additional subject-specific requirements for admission to the Master's examination are required.  The bridge modules are NOT a prerequisite for ADMISSION to the Master's programme. The bridge modules are taken as part of your Master's programme in Tübingen from the range of modules offered in the Bachelor's programme in Physics. After successfully completing these bridge modules, you can then register for the Master's examination, i.e. begin the project study for the Master's thesis and the subsequent Master's thesis (see above for the relevant information for graduates with a four-year Bachelor's degree in Physics). The overall grade for the Master's examination is based on the grade for the Master's thesis.
