The Master's Programme in Physics of the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy
The Master's programme in physics at the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy (PAF) of Friedrich Schiller University (FSU) Jena offers you a versatile, research-oriented education in modern physics. You will gain insights into scientific practice at the PAF in a personal environment and can tailor you academic training individually from a wide range of subjects.
Specialise in one of the four areas of modern research
The reseach focus areas of the PAF are optics and quantum electronics, solid-state physics and materials sciences, gravitational and quantum theory, as well as astronomy and astrophysics. Within these fields—and even beyond your chosen specialisation—you can acquire a wide range of skills and knowledge that will support you throughout your scientific career.
Be part of our projects and cooperations
Take advantage of the tight network at PAF composed of institutes, research groups and non-university partners and research centres like Fraunhofer IOF, Leibniz IPHT or the Thuringian State Observatory. Through these cooperations, you can take part in interesting projects in various fields of research early in your scientific career to gain experience and build your own network.
