RWTH Master’s College for M.Sc. Physics
With the Master‘s College, students become part of these excellent research facilities right from the start. It supports students to graduate as effective and quickly as possible.
The Master’s degrees in Germany require an undergraduate education that enables students to follow lectures at a very advanced and specialized degree. Especially for these students, the departments of Physics and the International Academy, as official institution education attached to the university, have developed a new master’s entry programme, the Master‘s College. This innovative programme includes scientific guidance, involvement in research and laboratory experiments, as well as an intense social support especially for international students.
Most international students do not completely fulfill these entrance requirements although their undergraduate degree might be excellent. The department of Physics offers “Bridging courses” providing you with the knowledge according to the German bachelor’s level. Master’s College also provides Exam Preparation, Advising and Support, German language courses, Network & Community and Personal Mentoring.
