The University of Regensburg also offers unique opportunities with the Physics research program, which go beyond the scope of study and prepare you for a challenging career. The basic idea is to provide motivated students with the greatest possible freedom and flexibility in combination with softskill training and interdisciplinary networking, a self-determined, research-oriented course. We provide a friendly and creative learning environment and seek to best assist our students on their path to academic excellence. The experience of recent years shows that motivated people achieve the best performance and success in a flexible environment. Rules and regulations slow down one's own motivation and reduce the level of success. Therefore, we always try to be as flexible and individual as possible for each of our students. Since we want to promote each student individually, the research degree program begins in the third or fourth semester. Prospective students complete the first two or three semesters in a regular undergraduate course in Physics at any university. In these semesters, those interested learn the basics needed and get used to the everyday university life. The research phase begins at the earliest after the sixth semester. It is possible to combine the Master's thesis with the directly following PhD. To this end, the students select a research field for the Master's thesis, which can be expanded to a doctorate, if desired. After completing the Master's thesis, they receive the Master's degree and a certificate from the Elite Network of Bavaria. Then they complete the doctoral project.
