What the register says
Students of the master’s programme in Physics will receive a sophisticated general education in physics and mathematics but they can also choose one of the following five specialisations: "Atmospheric Physics and Climate", "Astrophysics", "Experimental Physics", "Space Physics and Aeronomy", "Theoretical and Computational Physics". Besides these suggested specialisations the students can shape their modules in a flexible way and, if they wish, have individual specialisations approved to be best prepared for future requirements.
