Study physics at LMU
Do you want to deal with the most fundamental questions of our nature or work on the most urgent problems of mankind?
In this case, a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Physics could be just right for you. As one of the largest physics departments in the german-speaking area, the Faculty of Physics at LMU offers an outstanding range of research and teaching in almost all fields of modern physics.
You will have the opportunity to work in international teams with researchers to answer these fundamental questions:
- What is the nature of dark matter or dark energy in the universe?
- What are the limits of quantum computers?
- What role do quantum processes play in biological systems?
- How can quantum mechanics and gravitation be unified?
- Can we generate even shorter laser pulses to observe electrons in atoms?
- What physics determines the organization of biological cells?
- What determines the properties of 2-dimensional materials beyond graphene?
- How can we better predict extreme weather events?
- How can the accuracy and effectiveness of radiation therapy be improved?
- How can modern technologies support the learning of physical content?
- How do supermassive black holes evolve in galaxies?
These are just a few examples of the questions our researchers are working on.These questions also find their way into our research-oriented teaching.
So, if you find this exciting: Come and join us! Study physics and prepare yourself for the questions of the future.
Our graduates have successful careers in research and development departments in industry, in modern data-intensive IT service providers and, last but not least, successful academic careers.

Read moreFor me, studying physics at LMU is characterized by a pleasant and helpful atmosphere due to the diverse mix of students. In addition, the faculty covers practically all areas of physics due to its size. But this is not the only aspect in which LMU offers a wide range of opportunities - the same applied to the selection of my partner university for a semester abroad. When I decided on Norway, the organization was very relaxed because I received a lot of support from LMU. Now, back in Munich, I enjoy the proximity of the university buildings to the English Garden, numerous cafés and sports facilities, which makes student life very spontaneous and varied.Madeleine H. (bachelor student)
Take a look at the physics course!
With the University Observatory and the MPE, LMU has outstanding research opportunities in the field of astrophysics, which you can experience as a student. In my case, I was able to experience current research for my Bachelor's thesis and was supervised by my professor with exceptional commitment. That is really special.Jonathan W. (Masterstudent)
