Overview
Key Features
Research towards the degree Dr. rer. nat. can be performed in one of several fields, offered at the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Research encompasses core areas of fundamental physics as well as interdisciplinary border areas. In the core areas, research focuses on elementary particle physics, the structure and evolution of the universe, and the properties of complex classical and quantum systems. The interdisciplinary border areas include environmental physics, bio- and medical physics as well as technical computer science.
Doctoral students of the Heidelberg Graduate School for Physics from Heidelberg University can concurrently be admitted to one of the topical graduate schools in physics located in Heidelberg. (However, students of these schools must be admitted to the HGSFP).
These schools provide a focused programme in a specific research area, ranging from detector specialization through to specialization in quantum control and astronomy.
Doctoral students in medical physics can also be members of two schools simultaneously.

General requirements
- With respect to grades, it is expected that students applying for entrance to the Graduate School have the equivalent of the grade minimum 2,0 in the German system.
- This corresponds roughly to a "B+" Grade or better in the American or English system.
- As an exception to this policy, the Heidelberg Graduate School for Physics can admit excellent students who have completed 4 years of study in physics (Bachelor or Honours' degree). For more details on this, please read the information on the "integrated master/doctoral" programme.
- Candidates will be screened for suitability. In the screening process, the grades, theses, as well as two letters of recommendation will be taken into account.
