The study model at the Universität Bielefeld is structured in a unified manner across all faculties. This enables the students to create an individual, inter-disciplinary specialisation. Networking between the Departments of Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Technology promotes an active course of studies beyond subject boundaries.

A large number of Erasmus agreements exist between the Faculty of Physics and foreign universities. These can be used both as part of student and teacher mobility. With a generous crediting practice of foreign services, the faculty ensures that interested students are able to spend time abroad at virtually any time. Furthermore, the Physics faculty is involved in two international research training groups and there are further bilateral agreements with foreign universities (Shanghai, Tunis, Wrocław and Aix-Marseille). 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 20 percent.

Based on the traditional fields of Physics, the faculty has placed key areas of experimental and theoretical research in the fields of Biophysics, Supramolecular Structures, Nanostructure Physics, Light-Matter-Interaction and Light-Matter-Interaction. In theoretical Physics, there is further specialisation in the field of Elementary Particle Physics, especially Elementary Particles Matter under the extreme conditions which occur in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, in the early universe and in Astrophysics.

The experimental setup in the basic and advanced practicals are modernised and upgraded, a new work room with 25 computer workstations for training in Computer Science and Computer Applications in Physics (MatLab, LabView, Mathematica) has been established.
