The Master of Science degree provides the qualification of an advanced research-oriented scientific education. Students learn to tackle problems in physics and solve them using scientific tools, extending their current knowledge. The specialization fields of the study are oriented to the Bonn research focuses on particle physics and photonics/condensed matter. In addition, courses broadening the expertise into neighboring, related fields enable the students to comprehend interdisciplinary contexts. The scientific tools and cognitions should be applied independently, responsibly and critically.
