Master Physics at FSU with specialization in Gravitation & Quantum Theory

The Institute for Theoretical Physics at Friedrich Schiller University Jena offers an exceptional Master’s program in Physics with a specialized focus on Gravitation & Quantum Theory. Our curriculum provides students with advanced courses in theoretical physics, allowing them to tailor their studies based on their individual interests (32 ECTS).

The program culminates in a 9-month thesis project (60 ECTS) embedded in one of our working groups, where students work on cutting-edge research in their chosen area of specialization. All courses and research activities are conducted in English, fostering an international and inclusive academic environment.

Our Master's program is designed for ambitious students looking to excel in competitive research or pursue impactful careers in industry. With excellent teaching, we seek to equip students with all the necessary skills to succeed in their career. Early exposure to current research topics is gained through seminars and specialized lecture series as well as an early involvement in the working groups. We are especially proud of providing a collaborative learning, research, and working environment offering close interactions between students, professors, research staff and working groups.
