If you want to study Physics, please choose it as your first or second major within the double major Bachelor’s degree programme. For those with a technical interest in the subject, there is also a special Bachelor of Science Physics.
The double major Bachelor’s degree
There are four study objectives within the double major Bachelor’s degree. You can choose the following study objectives for Physics:
The double major Bachelor’s degree programme consists of two sub-programmes (first and second major) and an area of specialisation plus internships and/or school placements as well as a final module. In addition, there are courses in educational sciences and educational psychology when studying for a double major Bachelor’s degree in a teacher training course. The Bachelor’s thesis is written in the final module.
If the double major Bachelor’s degree is studied with the aim of becoming a teacher at a Gymnasium, 90 credits are earned in the first major and 45 credits in the second major. In educational sciences and educational psychology 6 credits are acquired. The area of specialisation (12 credits) includes courses with interdisciplinary and action-oriented components to help you develop cross-disciplinary and practical professional competences. 12 credits are earned by completing school placements. The final module includes writing the Bachelor’s thesis (15 credits).
If the double major Bachelor’s degree is studied with a subject-specific goal (no teacher training course), 90 credits are earned in the first major and 45 credits in the second major. The area of specialisation (18 credits) includes courses with interdisciplinary and action-oriented components to help you develop cross-disciplinary and practical professional competences. The internships (12 credits) are completed on a subject-related basis (not at a school!). The final module includes writing the Bachelor’s thesis (15 credits).
Study contents Physics (selection; depending on the choice of the major as first or second major to varying extents)
The scientific aspect of the subject, which is described in a very mathematical way, plays a far greater role in the Physics degree programme:
-
mechanics and heat (with basic practical course)
-
electromagnetism and optics (with basic practical course)
-
calculation methods
-
theoretical mechanics
-
quantum theory
-
atoms, molecules, nuclei (with basic practical course)
-
demo practical course
Possibilities of combination
In principle, Physics can be combined with all other majors of the double major Bachelor’s degree. However, some combinations are only possible to a limited extent, depending on the desired degree.
If you are aiming for the teaching profession at Gymnasien, please consult the regulations governing the combination of different subjects.
If you are looking for a combination not mentioned here, we strongly recommend that you consult with the programme coordinator for the double major Bachelor’s degree.
