Academic Progress Check in the Study Programs at Physics Department

In principle exams you did not pass may be repeated as often as required – apart from exams of the first year in the Bachelor program (GOP) and required additional fundamental subjects assigned during aptitude assessment for a Master program. But each semester a specified amount of ECTS credits are required which in turn requires the passing of exams.

"External" Final Theses or Research Phases in Physics Programs

Possible supervisors for the final thesis (research phase) in a Physics program are the university teachers of the Physics Department only. But these may cooperate with colleagues from other departments, national or international universities, or with external research institutions as well as private companies.

Extension of the Thesis’ Deadline

If it is impossible for you to meet the deadline to hand in your thesis due to a reason outside your responsibility, the examination board may grant an extension.

ECTS Grading Table for the Bachelor’s Program in Physics

The grading table according to ECTS gives statistics over all past degrees awarded in the Bachelor’s program in Physics. It thus offers the possibility to rank the own degree.

Cubicles for Bachelor Students

The Physics Department offers a limited amount of office desks with desktop computers for students during their Bachelor’s Thesis.

Leave of Absence

Upon request, students can be granted a leave of absence from a regular study program for important reasons.

Ranking of Student Cohorts in the Bachelor’s Program Physics

In addition to the ECTS grading table issued after completion of the studies students in the Bachelor's program Physics may receive a ranking within their student cohort at the Dean’s Office.

Prüfungen „Kompaktmodule“ (6. Sem. BSc)

Die Vorlesungen zu den „Kompaktmodulen“ enden bereits in der Mitte des Sommersemesters. Die mündlichen Prüfungen finden in diversen Prüfungsblöcken statt und werden nach erfolgter Anmeldung in TUMonline durch das Dekanat organisiert.

Prüfung zum Modul "Theoretische Physik 4 [PH0008]"

Theoretische Physik 4A [PH0008]: Die Prüfungen sind mündlich und gehen mit doppeltem Credit-Gewicht in die Endnote ein. Die Prüfung wird in jedem Semester angeboten. Eine Anerkennung von Theoretische Physik 4B [PH0012] ist nicht möglich.

Doppelstudium Mathematik und Physik?

Viele Studienbewerber(innen) schwanken zwischen einem Physik- und einem Mathematikstudium. An Stelle eines Doppelstudiums bietet sich aber eine flexible Ausnutzung der Modularisierung an.
