Specialisation in theoretical and experimental condensed matter, reflected in the bachelor's degree through optional complementary subjects, in addition to which medical physics is available as a full degree course (BA and MA), and computational physics is firmly anchored in the bachelor's degree in physics; The bachelor's degree in physics and digital technologies combines physics with computer science. The Physics.Plus sub-degree programme conveys basic knowledge of physics (120 CP) as well as knowledge of another freely selectable subject (60 CP), e.g. philosophy, media studies, etc.

Specialisation in theoretical and experimental condensed matter, reflected in the bachelor's degree through optional complementary subjects, in the master's degree through a high proportion of an optional specialisation subject; (20 credit points): Surfaces and Nanostructures, Soft Matter, Photovoltaics or Materials and Functional Materials; In addition, medical physics is available as a full degree programme (BA and MA); All degree programmes (master's and bachelor's) are re-accredited by ACQUIN.

Integration into European and transatlantic research networks. 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 30 percent.
