Adaptiation and Specialization FSPO 2024

Select adaptation modules to fill potential knowledge gaps. Most student lack introductory biophysics. Many students from live sciences lack higher maths and practical physics skills. Chose accordingly. When in doubt, please see your coordinator.

Important: The adaptation area does not count towards your final grade.

Select courses according to your undergraduate strengths. If you would like to add a course to your curriculum please use the Request for Module assignemet.

Student representative Physics/ Physics and Management

The Physics/ Physics and Management Discipline Representation is made up of all students from the Physics/Economics, Biophysics and Advanced Materials departments. Some of the students are active in the Fachschaft (subject-related student representatives), i.e. they represent the students of the discipline in various committees. They collect old exams and exam protocols, organise various celebrations at the University, take care of the lecture evaluation and are quite simply a contact person for questions about studying.
