Study Courses

Courses

For students who would like to orient themselves towards astrophysics, we offer courses in both experimental and theoretical orientation. In addition to a basic education in the classical subject canon of physics, we recommend the schedule or elective courses listed below.

You are studying Engineering Physics, Physics or Physics, Engineering, Medicine and wonder how you can get credits for the Astrophysics modules? Here you will find suggestions for integrating them into your studies(subject physics, engineering physics).

Bachelor Modules / Professionalisation Area

4th semester:

  • Astrophysik I (5.04.342a)

5th semester:

  • Astrophysik II (5.04.342b)
  • Fortgeschrittenenpraktikum Physik (FPR-B) – Versuch Astrometrie von Asteroiden/Kleinplaneten (5.04.311)

6th semester:

  • Einführung in die Kern- und Teilchenphysik (5.04.341)
  • Bachelor thesis
    • Theoretical orientation (field theory, general relativity)
    • Experimental orientation (e.g. minor objects, robotic observatories)
    • Observational astronomy (also for students of other degree programmes after attending Astrophysics I and II)

If required, there is the possibility of a lab project to learn basic astronomical observation and data processing techniques.
