The Advanced Quantum Physics Master's degree programme is entirely in English. Teaching courses in English is intended to prepare interested German students for a stay abroad or for professional employment, but also caters to international students, ; who are essential for the culture of research and academics on the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU) campus. Structured programmes for a semester abroad are also available for students. The career-integrated English Master's degree programme QuanTUK is being introduced. 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 33 percent.

Outstanding equipment thanks to very high levels of third-party funding and participation in 4 collaborative research centres (CRCs); Examples of large-scale equipment in the department are focused ion beam microscopy/lithography (FIB), normal incidence photoemission electron microscope (NI-PEEM), Mott detector spin- and angle-resolved UPS system, and magnetron sputter coater. Affiliated with the Faculty of Physics are the Institute for Surface and Layer Analysis (IFOS) and the Nano Structuring Centre (NSC) as a technology centre.

Participation in 4 CRCs enables very good equipment and early integration into forward-looking research projects in modern physics. This includes, for example, concepts for new spin-based computing, basic research on quantum optics and ultracold quantum systems, as well as modern laser and surface physics in the field of medicine. A new research building Laboratory for Advanced Spin Engineering has opened. Close cooperations exist with the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence, the Fraunhofer ITWM, the Photonics Centre and the IFOS.

Students can contribute to shaping developments in the Department of Physics beyond their studies.; Student representatives are not only represented in decision-making processes with regard to teaching (e.g. new appointments, establishment of new courses of study), but are also listened to as partners.; Professors' doors are open for the needs and interests of the students.
