Location of Jacobs University Bremen

Physics is the study of basic concepts like space, time, matter and fundamental interactions and their applications. It lays the foundation for other natural sciences and many engineering disciplines, and forms the basis of our understanding of objects as diverse as elementary particles, molecules, living cells, electronic devices, stars and galaxies. Their behaviour and properties are governed by the same universal physical principles.

The core physics curriculum, comprising a broad range of fundamental topics, focuses on these general principles. From the very beginning, lectures covering both theory and experiment are accompanied by lab courses. More detailed knowledge relevant for a guided research project in the third year is acquired in specialized courses. Throughout their education, students have close contact to our young and motivated faculty. The scientific understanding, problem solving strategies, and technical skills gained during the physics program open up many career opportunities in academia, research, management, and society.


Contents

Education at Jacobs University is structured according to the belief that problem-solving is most successful where several disciplines are considered to develop one approach.

Therefore, Jacobs University’s students do not only gain credits in courses of their field of study but also by taking so-called “transdisciplinary courses”. This means the main component contains mandatory and elective courses in the home school – the School of Engineering and Science (SES). The missing credits (up to 40) can be collected from a variety of courses:

* “Other School Courses”, i.e. not offered by the home school: courses of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS)
* Language courses
* University Study Courses (USC): lectures on different topics that are related to either one of the schools or that form a connection between both.

In addition, students can select Master courses whose credits are fully accounted to their Bachelor.

Especially Jacobs University’s science programs are very research-oriented and undergraduate students have the chance to gain practical experience in the modern and well equipped laboratories on campus.
