Applied Physics - Studies in Lübeck
Description of the study
The Master's program in Applied Physics at Lübeck University of Applied Sciences is aimed at graduates of a Bachelor's program with a focus on physics and technology and provides in-depth knowledge at the interface between research, technology, and industrial applications. The program lasts three semesters and leads to a Master of Science degree. The courses are full-time and focus on a close connection between theory and practice.
The focus is on current topics in modern physics such as laser and plasma technology, nanophysics, quantum technologies, photonics, and applied spectroscopy. At the same time, students learn to effectively integrate digital tools such as data science, AI methods, and simulation techniques into engineering development processes. The study concept emphasizes interdisciplinary work: a central element is the “Physics-Environment” competence project, which is carried out in close cooperation with the Environmental Management program. Here, students work on real-world problems from industry, research, or administration—often in connection with sustainability, environmental technology, or the energy transition.
In addition to specialized knowledge, interdisciplinary skills are also specifically promoted, for example in the areas of project management, scientific work, and communication. The program is research-oriented and strongly application-oriented, with modern laboratories and close ties to regional technology companies providing optimal conditions. Graduates of the program are excellently positioned for careers in industrial research and development, high-tech SMEs, environmental technology companies, or scientific institutions. A subsequent doctoral program is also possible. The program qualifies graduates for demanding tasks at the interface of innovation, science, and application—at a time when technical expertise is crucial for social transformation.
