Through participation in numerous tutorial groups and modern, well-equipped practicals the students' skills in analysing, presenting and solving Physics issues are developed at an early stage and continually. Building on this, BSc students are involved from the fifth/sixth semester in research groups and they thus acquire a research-oriented Physics education with which the students can independently solve new complex problems. With cohorts of less than 100 people, supervision by the faculty's professors is very good and early Master's modules are possible

Students complete the two electives and the advanced practical at the faculty's individual experimental institutes (first/second semester) in coordination with the individual institutes. This provides them with good insight into current research in the faculty before they decide on a master's thesis project. With cohorts of less than 50, students receive excellent support from professors.

The department offers an international English-language Master's degree programme. Students are supported during their stays abroad. There are partnerships with various universities abroad. Starting in the 5th study semester (BSc), several courses are offered in English. As soon as the students are integrated into the work groups of the institutes (from approx. the 5th study semester onwards), they are in an international environment. Specialised English literature is part of everyday life in the Master's course. The Master's graduates are excellently prepared for an international career path. Students are involved in international research cooperations of the work groups, the proportion of students of a class who take advantage of this option for exchange is about 15 percent.

On Campus, there are numerous computer rooms and the high-performance computer (HLRS) as well as the department's own computer room for Physics students. The department offers excellently equipped practicals (beginners, advanced, electronics), often also offered in the research laboratories of the institute. Research and teaching is supported by high-quality workshops specialising in the areas of mechanics, electronics, low-temperature and vacuum technology, as well as glass apparatus construction. The level of training and the number of technical staff are far-above average.

The research focuses are in the areas of Quantum Technologies and Materials, Photonics, Physical Simulation, Soft-Matter Physics, Statistical Physics and Solid Body Physics. Current members of the Stuttgart department have received the most important European research awards and the most important German prize for research. The physicists at Stuttgart play a leading role in numerous, also inter-disciplinary, research networks. Together with the local Max-Planck Institute, the Universität Stuttgart forms a major international location for Physics.

The researchers at Stuttgart Physics make a contribution to the deeper understanding of natural phenomena and are heavily involved in future new discoveries. In addition to the basic research, they work closely with the Engineering Sciences in order to research the latest discoveries in Physics directly in relation to their future area of use. Physics at Stuttgart also follows a joint path together with companies in the region and with non-university research institutes such as the Stuttgart Fraunhofer or both the Max Planck Institutes.
