What is our world made of? What holds it together at its core? How did the universe come into being? What are the foundations of our modern technical world? Are you curious? Do you enjoy tricky problems and have the necessary stamina? Then a Bachelor's degree in Physics is the perfect choice for you! Modern physics has decisively shaped our view of the world. It is the basis of all engineering and natural sciences and many technological developments would be unthinkable without an understanding of physical relationships. The Bachelor's degree course in Physics offers a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of physics and thus opens up access to current research areas such as elementary particle physics, astroparticle physics, quantum optics and solid state physics.

Career prospects
The career opportunities for physicists are very broad: physics alumni are in high demand on the job market and there is basically full employment in the field of physics. Astronaut Alexander Gerst, former Chancellor Angela Merkel and TV science presenter Ranga Yogeshwar are just three prominent examples of the diverse jobs that physicists have. The number of fields of activity is constantly growing.
Students about studying physics
You quickly find answers to even the trickiest questions.
I decided to study physics at the University of Siegen in 2017 because I was impressed by both the supervision ratio and the wide range of research topics in theory. Here you can approach all professors, lecturers, doctoral students, etc. at any time and quickly find answers to even the trickiest questions. You know each other and, in addition to academic know-how, you also get support with topics such as stays abroad, internships and your career after graduation. I particularly liked the fact that I was given an overview of physics during my Bachelor's degree, but was also able to specialize in my current field from the 3rd semester onwards with the help of elective subjects.
