Our programs

Bachelor's

You want to study physics and know German?

You can apply to our free* Bachelor's program, even after the official application deadline. If you do not speak German, you may be able to attend some classes that are taught in English.

Apply

If you know German already but not at the level sufficient for admission (C1 CEFR), it may be possible to get a conditional program admission.

If you only know English, you can register with a “listener” status and attend some classes that are available in English. There is also a welcome program that can help with the German language for eligible students.

Master's

You already have a Bachelor’s degree in physics and speak fluent English (CEFR B2 or higher)?

You can apply to our free* English Master’s program in physics.

Please use uni-assist for submitting your documents.
Please feel free to send us an email to master4ukraine@physik.fu-berlin.de if you have missed the application deadline.
