Info about the study

Study programme Engineering Physics B.Eng. / M.Sc.

Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg and Emden/Leer University of Applied Sciences offer the international bachelor's degree programme Engineering Physics to bridge the gap between traditional physics and engineering education. Since 1998, students have been trained here to understand and develop modern technologies with a comprehensive basic education in mathematics and natural sciences combined with application-oriented engineering sciences.

In the course of their studies, students have the opportunity to specialise in fields of study:

  • Renewable Energies
  • Lasers & Optics
  • Biomedical Physics
  • Acoustics

Further specialisation is possible in each of these fields.

Students from all continents work closely together in lectures, exercises and projects.

Specialisation

Renewable energies

The future regional, national, and global primary energy supply cannot do without a significant contribution from renewable energy, even in the short term, regardless of ecological and climatic problems. The largest theoretical contribution, as well as the highest technically usable potential of forms of renewable energy, are solar radiation and the kinetic energy of the atmosphere, i.e. wind energy. In the focus Renewable Energies, therefore, theoretical basics of the conversion possibilities of these forms of energy and the corresponding limitations are taught, and the mode of action, limitations and application possibilities for physical and technical concepts are discussed.

Laser & Optics

"Germany occupies a leading world market position in laser technology and optics" (Federal Ministry of Education and Research). In addition to the basic physics of lasers, the focus of the Laser & Optics specialisation is therefore on their application in optical communication technology (fibre optics), macro-, micro- and nanomaterial processing (from cruise ships to computer chips), medical technology (e.g. laser scalpel or tissue diagnostics), optical measurement technology (e.g. holography or environmental monitoring) and the development of compact, powerful laser devices.

Biomedical physics

The focus on biomedical physics concentrates on the application of physical principles to medical diagnostics (X-ray, ultrasound, NMR, biophotonics) and therapy (e.g. laser medicine, minimally invasive interventions, radiation therapy). The interdisciplinary education opens up diverse fields of work for graduates, from basic research to the development of medical technology systems and procedures in industrial companies to applications in clinics. By selecting suitable courses, the specialist recognition as a medical physicist of the DGMP can be acquired.

Medical physics in Oldenburg conducts interdisciplinary research in the fields of hearing and audiology, neurosensorics, digital hearing aids and speech and audio processing, which is supported by the Hearing4all cluster of excellence. The study programme teaches knowledge about the study of the normal and hearing-impaired auditory system, as well as its application to areas with important practical problems such as automatic speech recognition, optimisation of diagnostic methods for hearing impairment, and noise suppression in hearing aids that can adapt to the respective acoustic situation.

Acoustics

The specialisation ‘Acoustics’ covers audible sound but also infrasound, ultrasound, structure born sound and mechanical vibrations.

Topics address basics of radiation and wave propagation, acoustic properties of matter, physical and technical properties of electro-acoustic transducers, and extend to numerical calculation of mechanical vibrations,
advanced (speech) signal processing and machine learning, and the perception and evaluation of sound and vibrations by humans.

The subjective perception of sound, binaural hearing and speech intelligibility, improved audio reproduction and virtual acoustics, sound design of products and vehicles are fields of research in Oldenburg.

Numerous career opportunities await the graduate due to the ubiquity and importance of sound and vibrations in engineering and science.
Noise and vibration control and monitoring plays an important role in machine design, quality control and environmental noise.
Speech communication is enhanced by target-oriented signal processing.
Vehicle interior sound and room acoustics are designed to optimise customer comfort.
Ultrasound is used as a diagnostic tool in medicine, in materials testing and for environmental monitoring.

Application and admission

How do I apply for the Bachelor?

The minimum requirement for a Bachelor's degree programme at Oldenburg University is a university entrance qualification.

You can apply via the application portal of the University of Oldenburg, where you can register and then apply. You upload your documents for admission directly in the portal.

Applicants with a foreign university entrance qualification should apply directly to UniAssist.

Bachelor apply

Note on proof of language proficiency in German

Accepted as proof of the required German language skills at level A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR):

  • Goethe-Zertifikat A2
  • telc A2 certificate
  • ÖSD A2 certificate
  • UNIcert basis
  • DSD (German Language Diploma of the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs)
  • DSH (German Language Test for University Admission) (DSH-1 or certificate of attendance of completed course)
  • TestDaF (Test of German as a Foreign Language)
  • German Abitur, also from German schools abroad or equivalent qualifications in Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland (with German as language)
  • International Baccalaureate (IB) with German as language A
  • FSP (Feststellungsprüfung an Studienkollegs) with German as an examination language
  • Studies (completed) with German as language of instruction

An application can already be made with a recognised language certificate on level A1. Applications without a recognised German language certificate will be rejected.

How do I apply for the Master's programme?

The minimum requirement for a Master's programme at the University of Oldenburg is a first recognised university degree (e.g. Bachelor).

The application is made via the application portal of the University of Oldenburg, where the registration and subsequent application takes place. You upload your documents for admission directly in the portal.

Applicants with a foreign Master's entrance qualification should apply directly to UniAssist.

Career

Due to the science-based and practice-oriented education, the graduates are optimally qualified for all areas of technology-oriented industrial and research institutions. With their practical experience from project work, the graduates also meet the requirements that arise in the management sector, e.g. with regard to the ability to work in a team and entrepreneurial thinking.
