Scientific Requirements for Admission
The following knowledge must have been acquired during the studies on Bachelor´s level (percentages are used, if no ECTS credits are provided):
- knowledge of a programming language corresponding to 8 ECTS credits or 4%; and
- 24 ECTS credits or 13% which can be assigned to one of the following specialization fields:
Experimental Physics (Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Atoms and Molecules), Thermodynamics, Data Analysis and Statistics
Electromagnetics / Electromagnetic Theory, Applied Mathematics, Numerical Techniques in Engineering /Computational Engineering
Analysis I, II and III, Linear Algebra I and Introduction to Stochastic Calculus, Introduction into Numerical Analysis, Theory of Ordinary Differential Equations, Functional Analysis
Fluid Mechanics, Numerical Methods (or similar)
Newton’s laws, circular motion, harmonic oscillator, forced oscillations, energy and momentum conservation, elastic scattering. Basic relations of relativistic kinematics. Coloumb’s law of electric forces, Lorentz force, law of induction, propagation of planar electromagnetic waves in vacuum and matter. Quantisation of energy levels in atoms, excitations of atoms, photoelectric effect, description of microscopic particles with wave functions, Compton scattering. Radioactive decays.
