Jump-start for new students: Preparatory mathematics course, introductory week; Additional tutorials From the beginning, very good contact between students of different semesters. Small sizes for exercises and internships; Good facilities; Very good teacher-student ratio; Good cooperation between teaching staff and students; Regular teaching evaluation. Good coordination of teaching content. Wide range of elective options, from computer science to languages to astronomy and astrophysics. Bachelor's theses on current research topics.

Six elective courses of study with well thought-out compulsory elective module catalogues which are closely linked to the research fields at the institute; However, individual course design is also possible. Close connection between theoretical and experimental physics in the modules. Good facilities. very good staff-student ratio; Good cooperation between teaching staff and students; Regular teaching evaluation. Research phase in the third and fourth semesters with master's theses on current research topics of the working groups and associated institutes.

The University of Rostock has numerous partnerships with universities in Europe within the framework of the ERASMUS+ programme. The contracts are concluded between the individual departments and supervised by the departmental coordinators (currently around ten in the field of physics). 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.
