The FPR-B is fundamentally orientated. Students should acquire the ability to design, carry out, analyse, record and present sophisticated physics experiments and gain experience with modern measurement and evaluation methods in experimental physics.

For students on the subject Bachelor's degree programme in Physics, the FPR-B has the following scope:

(a) For students starting before winter semester 11/12, the FPR-B forms the training module in the area of specialisation and has a scope of 15 CP. Of this, 3 CPs are allocated to the seminar on FPR-B (see below) and 12 CPs are allocated to 7 practicals, each comprising 2 practical days of 8 hours each (Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). The grades of the attempts are included in the final grade of the module with a combined weighting of 12/15.

(b) For students starting in winter semester 11/12 or later, the FPR-B is part of the training module in the area of specialisation and has a scope of 9 CP. Of these, 1.5 CP are allocated to the FPR-B seminar (see below) and 7.5 CP are allocated to 7 practicals, each comprising 2 practical days of 8 hours each (Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). The grades of the attempts are included in the final grade of the module with a combined weighting of 7.5/9.

For students on the Master of Education Physics degree programme, specialisation Gymnasium, the FPR-B has a scope of 6 CP. Of these, 1 CP is allocated to the FPR-B seminar (see below) and 5 CP to 4 experiments, each comprising 2 experimental days of 8 hours each (Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). The grades of the experiments are included in the final grade of the module with a combined weighting of 5/6.

The FPR-B is accompanied by a seminar in which knowledge and skills for presenting the basics, implementation and results of physical experiments using multimedia tools are deepened.

For students on the subject Bachelor's degree programme in Physics, the seminar is worth 3 CP if they start before winter semester 11/12 and 1.5 CP if they start in winter semester 11/12 or later. Regular participation in the seminar is compulsory. Each participant must give a seminar presentation. The seminar grade is included in the final grade of the module with a weighting of 3/15 or 1.5/9.

For students on the Master of Education Physics degree programme, the seminar is worth 1 CP. They only attend selected dates of the seminar. They must also give a seminar presentation. The seminar grade is included in the final grade of the module with a weighting of 1/6.

For students on the Bachelor of Physics-Technology-Medicine degree programme: As part of the training module, students choose an experiment from the range of experiments offered by the FPR-B.

In order to ensure a sufficient breadth of experimental training, experiments from at least four different areas of experimental physics must be carried out.

It is possible to specialise in one area. In this case, thematically closely related experiments are carried out as part of a block practical course. The scope of a block practical course can correspond to a maximum of three individual experiments.

The block practicals: "Psychophysics, Neurosensorics and Auditory Signal Processing" and "Digital Signal Processing" are usually carried out before the corresponding winter semester (in September) and are requested separately in advance when registering for organisational reasons. The scope of one of these block practicals corresponds to three individual experiments.

Some experiments in the field of materials and solid state physics take place en bloc (in February / March, starting 14 days after the end of the winter semester). These are individual experiments that are only blocked for organisational reasons.

The FPR-B can therefore be carried out in the following variants:

The assignment of experiments and lectures takes place on the first date of the FPR-B seminar.

An overall grade is awarded for the FPR-B module, which is calculated as a weighted average of the individual grades for the experiments and the seminar grade. Details will be announced when the places are allocated (1st seminar date).
