Qualification targets Bachelor Mathematical Physics (180 ECTS)

The aim of this degree programme is to familiarise students with the most important sub-areas of mathematical physics, to familiarise them with the methods of mathematical and physical thinking and working as well as the interdisciplinary application possibilities of physical-mathematical methods.

Through their education and through the training of analytical thinking, the students acquire the ability to later familiarise themselves with the diverse fields of tasks that are assigned to them and, in particular, to acquire the basic knowledge required for a consecutive Master's degree programme.

Therefore, emphasis is placed on the understanding of fundamental mathematical and physical concepts, laws and ways of thinking as well as a sound knowledge of physical-mathematical methods and the development of analytical analytical thinking, the ability to think abstractly and the ability to structure complex contexts are more important than the most comprehensive detailed knowledge possible in mathematics and physics.
