The course imparts thorough knowledge and skills in the field of physics, which enable students to familiarize themselves independently with the various tasks of the application, research or teaching-related fields of activity in later professional life. Physics is conveyed as an empirical science based on an experiment, in which theoretical modeling plays an outstanding role. The interplay of theory and experiment is also visible, especially in the university research areas "semiconductor physics and quantum phenomena" and "self-organization and complexity".
