B.Sc.-Studiengänge

Unser Institut bietet wechselnde Lehrangebote in den B.Sc.-Studiengängen des Fachbereichs an.

M.Sc. Physik / M.Sc. Physics

Neben den Vorlesungen "Condensed Matter Theory I" (jeweils im WiSe) und "Condensed Matter Theory II" (jeweils im SoSe), können Sie unter verschiedenen thematisch stärker fokussierten Vorlesungen wählen. Sämtliche Vorlesungen können unabhängig voneinander gehört werden und bauen nicht aufeinander auf. Unter Aktuell: Sommersemester 2024 und Vorschau: Wintersemester 2024/25 können sich sich zu den aktuellen Angeboten informieren.
