Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus - Senftenberg

What you'll study

The curriculum begins with foundational physics in the early semesters, moves into specialised modules linked to the institute’s research strengths (for example nanophysics — electronic and optical phenomena in solid-state nanostructures — and condensed-matter physics — structure and properties of solids and surfaces), and concludes with a research module and the Bachelor thesis in the final semester. The programme is practice-oriented, integrating laboratory work and opportunities to participate in applied research projects.

Entry requirements

Admission requires a general university entrance qualification (Allgemeine Hochschulreife / Abitur) or a university of applied sciences entrance qualification (Fachhochschulreife). The programme is zulassungsfrei (no admission selection). No pre‑practical internship is required. Supporting offers include preparatory courses, online subject tests and study guidance.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared for roles in applied development of physical-technical solutions, organisational positions in industry and administration, and software development for industrial and research projects. The degree also provides suitable preparation for consecutive Master programmes such as Elektrotechnik (M.Sc.) or Physics (M.Sc.) and for research careers.
