Graduates of the Master's degree in physics know the basics of experimental and theoretical physics and have deepened their knowledge to the latest scientific findings through the study of the Major in Physics, the Second Major in Physics and the Minor in Physics. They have knowledge in a non-physics elective subject which they can choose from mathematics, the natural sciences and engineering according to their preferences. They have the abilities to apply the more complex concepts in theoretical and experimental physics to research-related problems and can develop solution strategies. On the experimental side the graduates have the ability to draw conclusions using measured data, formulate models and make predictions. Graduates specialized in theoretical physics have the knowledge to perform complex calculations. They can interpret their results in the context of theoretical models. Based on the acquired knowledge they correctly categorize various situations and topics. The graduates have the expertise to summarize their scientific results in written and oral form and they can present them using engaging presentation skills. The successful completion of the degree course enables the graduates to work in various areas, such as research and development at universities or in industry, data analysis and optimization of processes, and programming and hardware applications. Moreover, the graduates have gained the requirements to begin doctoral studies in physics. At KIT there is special emphasis on research-related teaching. In the Master's degree program the students have a wide choice among different topics. This allows students to deepen the knowledge in close contact with research performed not just at a university but at a large-scale research institution.
