At RWTH Aachen University we want to ensure that you get an excellent start to your Master’s in Physics. Most graduates from universities other than RWTH Aachen need to pass additional subjects as condition for admission. These courses are part of the German-taught Bachelor degree in Physics. In the Master’s College, you can fulfill these admission requirements in specific courses taught in English some weeks before and during your Master’s program. Moreover, the complementing academic and social support will increase your chances of success.

The Master's College was developed by the RWTH International Academy in close cooperation with the Physics Institute and complements the Master's degree programme at the university. The Master's College is designed specifically for students who need to fulfil conditions for admission.... [-]

Physics aims to observe and explain the behaviour of the physical universe. In particular, physics looks for basic laws, which account for and predict what can be observed. Part of the appeal of the subject is that the physical world is governed by remarkably few such laws and that these apply everywhere and to everything.

The structure of the courses reflects the structure of the subject. All students take the core modules and choose further modules from the lists of options. The core modules introduce the fundamental principles, while the optional modules explore their applications in the different areas of physics including astrophysics, the properties of matter, particle physics and atmospheric physics. The option scheme also allows a proportion of modules to be taken from outside of physics. We encourage students not only to consider modules related to physics, for example in computing but also modules in philosophy and modern languages.... [-]
