PhD in Physics
4 years (8 semesters)
English
PhD studies are designed on the one hand to provide a strong grounding in highly
specialized areas of modern physics and on the other hand to give students the
opportunity to develop interdisciplinary skills. All of this is provided by a series of postgraduate
courses and frequent seminars in the interdisciplinary environment of the
Institute of Physics. By active participation in the group seminars the PhD students can
learn the art of scientific presentation. They can choose a supervisor from many senior
staff scientists and are fully integrated in the research program of the Institute. PhD
students have been co-authors of approx. 30% of the recent journal papers published
by the academic staff of the Institute. The research covers a broad range of currently
developed areas in: condensed matter physics (experimental and theoretical),
molecular physics, nuclear physics, elementary particle physics, statistical physics,
astrophysics and cosmology, medical physics, physics of nano- and mesoscopic
systems, computer physics. The dissertation for the degree of PhD shall normally be
completed and defended within 4 years.
