Study programmes

Graduates are well-trained in the basics of both classical and modern physics and in common mathematical methods used in physics. This allows them to continue in any of the Physics Master’s degree programmes of their choosing. However, graduates are mainly being prepared for the continuation in the follow-up Physics Education at Upper Secondary Schools programme (graduating which enables one to teach at lower secondary school as well). Therefore, graduates also undergo training in communication, how to work with pupils and students in a classroom, and how to use various activation methods and experiments to help students see physics as an interesting and understandable discipline. Combining rationale, empiricism and people skills, this study programme enables a wide range of applicability. Most importantly, in combination with the mentioned Master’s degree, this programme helps graduates to become brilliant physics teachers (mostly in combination with mathematics), a position that is greatly desired by schools everywhere.
