Dear A-level students,

This year, after eight or nine years at grammar school, you will be taking your Abitur. You’ll have heard and read a lot in the media about ‘G8/G9’, the ‘double Abitur cohort’ and perhaps also that places at universities may be in short supply. We’d like to put your minds at ease – here at the Institute of Physics in Oldenburg, we’ve made all the necessary arrangements!

If you want to study physics, whether to become a physicist or a physics teacher, then come and join us. We began preparing for the double cohort of A-level graduates some time ago. That is why we can guarantee you:

• A preliminary course in maths with small tutorial groups, where you can refresh or expand your maths knowledge before the start of the winter semester.
  
• Physics lectures in manageable-sized groups featuring interesting and exciting live experiments.
• Practical sessions to consolidate the lecture material in effective small groups.
• Experiments in small groups in modern, well-equipped internships under the supervision of dedicated lecturers and tutors.
• Early and close contact with researchers at the Institute.
• Excellent IT infrastructure, free access to the university’s Wi-Fi and to modern hardware and software.
• Dedicated students in the Physics student body who offer support with organising your studies and much more.
• Early insight into modern fields of research in physics, such as ultrafast nano-optics, renewable energy, medical physics, cosmology, solid-state physics and many more.
• Your tuition fees are used exclusively to improve teaching, particularly for the expansion and modernisation of lecture experiments and internships, and for financing of student tutors.

Please browse our website if you would like to find out more about teaching, research and the people at our Institute. We look forward to welcoming you!
