Our Physicist-Engineer program is a great option for you if you are creative, you like physics, mathematics, and technology, and you would like to advance frontline technology in rapidly developing fields such as quantum- and nanotechnology, data science and artificial intelligence, photonics, quantum optics and materials science, sustainable energetics, and nuclear technology. In collaboration with our industrial partners, we offer worldwide competitive, versatile knowledge in these fields to answer novel technological challenges. With a Physicist-Engineer degree, you will have the option to work as a developer, continue with one of our engineering programs, or – if attracted to fundamental science – you can continue with our Physicist Master Program, too.
Admission procedure: (i) Pre-screening by high school graduation results (optional univ. certificate), motivation and recommendation letters (if available). (ii) Electronic admission test in mathematics and physics (online). (iii) Online interview in English (after passed written test): knowledge and preparedness, communication skills, motivation and attitude. (iv) Decision: admission to BSc program (min. 70% admission result) / rejection.
You can study at BME with a scholarship or as a self-funded student, by paying tuition fees. Various scholarships help you cover tuition fees and your living expenses during your studies. Successful PhD students may receive additional support from research grants.
Physicist-engineer students receive a balanced combination of courses in engineering, physics, mathematics, computer and data science, as well as management. Technological aspects are pronounced, but – compared to usual engineering programs – a stronger background in natural sciences is provided.
Mechanics, electrodynamics, optics, thermodynamics, modern physics, condensed matter and statistical physics
Vector and matrix algebra, multivariable calculus, probability, modern mathematical methods in physics
Communication, professional English, management
and presentation skills
Any course of the university
Programing, numerical algorithms, machine learning
Measurement methods and technology, computer aided design, computer control, electronics, sensing, applied chemistry, elective subjects on engineering
Nanotechnology and Quantum Applications, Nuclear Technologies and Sustainable Energetics, Scientific Data Processing
Innovative companies raise an overwhelming demand for creative experts who can bridge the scientific and technological aspects of frontline research & development. Accordingly, our Physicist-Engineer students can expect prestigious and high-paying jobs at companies specialized in a broad range of fields, like research and development of emerging technologies, data science and artificial intelligence, energetics, nuclear technologies, medical device development, semiconductor industry, automotive industry, etc. Employment is directly possible after the BSc degree, or studies can be continued on one of our engineering MSc programs or Physics or Applied Mathematics MSc programs. After obtaining an MSc, our most dedicated students can enroll in our PhD school to become highly qualified researchers or even pursue an academic career.
