BSc of Physics: Foundation course in accordance with the programme of the German Physics Society (DPG), Mathematics modules together with students studying Mathematics as a major, interdisciplinary project in the initial study phase, mini research for early entry into the working groups; MSc of Physics: Advanced course with a wide range of options, alliance with large-scale research establishment "GSI-Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research" and non-university research institutions (Fraunhofer Institute, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research); MSc of Physics: MSc degree programme with a focus on Nuclear Physics taught in English.

Optionally, exams of all modules can be taken in English. 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 50 percent.
