Master of Science in Engineering Physics University of Oldenburg

University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer

Courses are held in English, additional German lectures are available and can be taken if the command of German is sufficient.

The Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg and the Emden/Leer University of Applied Sciences offer the international programme in Engineering Physics to close the gap between traditional physics and engineering education. The internationally-oriented degree programme in Engineering Physics gives students insights into current research fields and new developments in modern applied physics.

Biomedical Physics

Providing at first a basic foundation in anatomy and physiology, the specialisation in "Biomedical Physics" goes on to emphasise on modern methods in medical radiation applications such as radiotherapy, nuclear medicine or radiology, and basics of minimal invasive therapy including micromechanical and laser assisted methods as well as other imaging techniques such as ultrasound, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, and optical tomography. Well-established medical engineering physics such as medical electronics, data and image acquisition and processing, radiation biophysics, laboratory diagnostics, and biomechanics are also covered. Training is performed in close cooperation with the Medical Centre for Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine at the Pius-Hospital Oldenburg.

Acoustics

The "Acoustics" specialisation covers audible sound as well as infrasound, ultrasound, structure-born sound and mechanical vibrations. Topics address basics of radiation and wave propagation, acoustic properties of matter, physical and technical properties of electro-acoustic transducers, and extend to numerical calculation of mechanical vibrations, advanced (speech) signal processing and machine learning, and the perception and evaluation of sound and vibrations by humans. The subjective perception of sound, binaural hearing and speech intelligibility, improved audio reproduction and virtual acoustics, sound design of products and vehicles are fields of research in Oldenburg.

Laser & Optics

Laser technology and optics are key technologies of the 21st century. Fibre optic networks for data transmission, optical data carriers, lithography for the production of microchips are examples. Optical diagnostics are indispensable in medicine and environmental technology. Lasers are a tool for cutting, welding, drilling, perforating and marking.

Renewable Energy

Education in the field of Renewable Energy (RE) is strongly correlated with models of the future energy supply. RE research and education at the University of Oldenburg is focused on physical, technical, ICT, and economic issues of RE power generation and its system integration. Many research groups within the Institute of Physics are focusing on material research (photovoltaics, battery, nano-optics) and cooperating with theoretical and applied physics. Furthermore, there is a broad range of research in the field of wind energy physics: wind energy systems, turbulence, wind energy and statistics, and wind and solar energy meteorology.

Approx. one-third of the study time is arranged in fixed courses pertaining to advanced physics, theoretical physics and management. All other courses can be chosen according to the subject of specialisation. Personal initiative and individual work are encouraged through long-term projects in the laboratory.

The specialisation in "Biomedical Physics" offers a great opportunity to obtain the "Fachanerkennung Medizinische Physik" from the "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Medizinische Physik (DGMP)".

The European Wind Energy Master consortium is composed of four universities, world leaders in wind energy and offshore wind energy research and education (Technical University of Denmark, Delft University of Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, University of Oldenburg).

Engineering Physics is offered by the University Oldenburg and the University of Applied Science Emden/Leer. Several lectures and laboratory projects on laser technology are given in Emden. You will receive a "Semesterticket" when you enrol which allows you to use public transport free of charge.

Individual part-time studies are possible.

An internship of two months is to be completed in a research institution or company and will be rewarded with 15 ECTS credit points. Implementation in the Master's thesis is possible. Career Service will assist students in finding an appropriate internship.

No tuition fees

Approx. 420 EUR per semester

You should expect to spend about 1,000 EUR per month to cover personal expenses (accommodation, health insurance, food).

A first academic degree, Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in a subject related to engineering physics is required.
