Physics at the HHU Düsseldorf is taught in close cooperation with the other subjects offered by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, the Faculty of Medicine and the University Hospital. This forms the basis for the interdisciplinary courses of study in medical physics and natural sciences and enables a wide range of minor subjects. There is close cooperation with external research institutions (e.g. the German Diabetes Centre, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Max Planck Institute for Iron Research, CERN) when completing final theses.

The Master's degree course in Physics is taught completely 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 15 percent.

Numerous large-scale research facilities e.g. computing clusters, quantum optic apparatus, Helium cryostats, high-performance laser systems; Access to large-scale research facility in Jülich, in particular in Plasma Physics and Biological Physics. Antiproton research at CERN in Geneva.

The research activities focus on the key areas of Plasma Physics (in particular Laser Plasma Physics), Soft Matter, Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Solid State Physics and Nanophysics as well as Biophysics/Medical Physics. There are three joint professorships with the Jülich Research Centre and one with the DLR Cologne. A professorship focuses on its research activities at CERN. Both during the degree course as well as in subsequent doctoral studies, students can profit from the diverse nationally and internationally funded research projects.
