The physics master's program at the University of Potsdam, entirely held in German can be started in the summer and winter semesters. After basic training in the physics bachelor's program, you can specialize in a research area in the first semester of the program, in addition to general in-depth courses. The universal in-depth education focuses on higher topics in experimental and theoretical physics, as well as experimental and numerical methods for collecting and analyzing data.

After modules for extracurricular supplementation have been finished, a master's thesis is submitted in the selected in-depth module with the institute's internal working groups or an external research institute.
