Special introductory courses at the commencement of studies (preparatory courses in physics and mathematics); integrated course (experimental physics/theoretical physics) in the first four semesters; Mentoring programme; small practice groups; "Computational Physics" module offers a wide range of options; wide range of optional subjects (including interdisciplinary subjects ) in the bachelor's degree programmes.

Wide range of optional subjects (including interdisciplinary subjects) in the master's degree programmes; research-related training in two specialised physical subjects in the master's degree programme; research-related laboratory internships in the master's degree programme.

Numerous exchange partners for semesters abroad in the Bachelor's and Master's degree courses in the Erasmus programme; German-Spanish double-degree programme between Münster and Sevilla in the Master's degree course; Participation in international research programmes (sometimes also at international research centres) during the Master's thesis. 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 5 percent.
