Studies

As one of the largest physics departments in Germany, the Faculty of Physics at LMU offers an outstanding range of research and teaching in almost all fields of modern physics.

• Individual interests are a major priority for us. Students can choose courses from the numerous research fields represented at our faculty in order to decide on appropriate specialisations in our Bachelor's and Master's courses.
• Research-oriented teaching and high reputation. The Faculty of Physics achieves excellent results in international university rankings. In both experimental physics and theoretical physics, we offer research-oriented teaching at the highest level and in "state of the art" research fields. Immerse yourself with us in the world of cutting-edge research in physics!
• Internationality. Students have the opportunity to learn from globally recognised and internationally networked scientists and to work with them at the cutting edge of research. We also offer you the opportunity to spend time abroad as part of our wide range of international programmes.
• Strong infrastructure. LMU is an integral part of the exceptionally broad network of research institutions, universities, foundations and companies based in Munich. The city's other research institutions, the Max Planck Society and the Fraunhofer Society as well as globally active companies and a lively start-up scene are closely interwoven with LMU. This offers you an ideal start to your career.
• Pleasant study atmosphere. Most courses take place in the heart of Munich. The English Garden stretches out close to the LMU main building. During the lunch break you often meet fellow students in one of the many street cafés around the university.
