Bachelor’s Programme Physics
You want to understand the nature of physical processes and create foundations for new applications?
All areas of high technology in our modern society are built on physics. Numerous applications resulted from a combination of deep understanding of physical processes and the desire to strive for knowledge: Computers, satellites, GPS navigation, lasers, modern imaging technology in medicine and the internet are a direct result of basic research in physics.
Physics provides and develops answers to many challenges we face in the present and the future, such as climate, environment and energy and also to fundamental topics, such as the origin of the universe or the wondrous world of quanta.

Graduates possess scientifically well-founded theoretical and methodical problem-solving skills in order to apply technical issues in natural science, engineering, economy, medicine and economy in interdisciplinary contexts. The training in basic and research-oriented teaching in the fields of experimental and theoretical physics enables graduates to make knowledge-based solutions on creative approaches.
The Bachelor’s Programme Physics prepares graduates for occupational opportunities as physicists in industry and economy, and for the Master’s Programme Physics. The bachelor’s programme gives an overview of the fundamental principles of the different disciplines in the field of physics, and it offers a wide range of elective modules. Graduates are able to analyze and solve physical issues in natural science, engineering, economy, medicine, and other fields.
The programme conveys:
- basic knowledge of mechanics, themrodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, atomic, nuclear, and particle physics, solid-state physics, astrophysics, plasma physics, molecular physics, quantum theory, and the introduction to mathematics and computer science,
- practial training with interships,
- the ability to independently develop in-depth knowledge,
- the ability to work in a team as well as to present and document results.
Graduates of the Bachelor’s Programme Physics are in demand in the fields of natural science and engineering, as well as in industry and research. In particular, by their ability to provide independent problem solutions, they are characterized for a wide range of career fields.

Anomalien von Neutronensternen entschlüsseln
Unter der Leitung von Francesca Ferlaino und Massimo Mannarelli untersuchen Quantenphysiker und Astrophysiker gemeinsam die plötzliche Änderung der Rotationsgeschwindigkeit von Neutronensternen. Es ist ihnen nun gelungen, dieses rätselhafte Phänomen mit ultrakalten dipolaren Atomen numerisch zu simulieren. Die enge Verbindung von Quantenmechanik und Astrophysik ebnet den Weg für die Quantensimulation von stellaren Objekten.
Quanten-Tool öffnet Tür zu neuen Phänomenen
Innsbrucker Wissenschaftler um Peter Zoller haben ein neues Werkzeug für die Bestimmung von Verschränkung in Vielteilchensystemen entwickelt und im Experiment demonstriert. Die Methode ermöglicht Untersuchungen von bisher unzugänglichen physikalischen Phänomenen und kann zu einem besseren Verständnis von Quantenmaterialien beitragen. Die Arbeit ist in der Fachzeitschrift Nature erschienen.
Wechselwirkende Polaronen
Die komplexen Vorgänge in Festkörpern werden in der Physik oft mit Quasiteilchen beschrieben. In ultrakalten Quantengasen können diese Quasiteilchen nachgebaut und untersucht werden. Nun haben Innsbrucker Wissenschaftler um Rudolf Grimm erstmals im Experiment beobachten können, wie Fermi-Polaronen – eine spezielle Art von Quasiteilchen – untereinander wechselwirken können. Sie berichten darüber in der Fachzeitschrift Nature Physics.
