Overview

In particular, topics from the physics of soft matter, solid state physics and nonlinear dynamics are taught and promoted in experiments and theory.

Features

Physics is a cross-sectional science and therefore places special demands on specialist knowledge, interdisciplinary competency and the ability to communicate.

This Soft Matter Physics, Nonlinear Dynamics and Solid State Physics programme at University of Bayreuth supports the qualification of doctoral students for independent research in a broad professional environment and for scientific communication. It thus aims at enabling people to take on responsible roles in education, research, industry, and society.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Of course, scientific work on the research project forms the core of every doctorate.

In this doctoral programme, however, we offer young scientists additional qualifications that go beyond research work and enable them to contribute creatively to the further development and communication of scientific concepts.

Accompanying the research activity, each doctoral candidate acquires individual qualifications, which he or she can tailor optimally to the requirements of the scientific doctoral project as well as to his or her personal abilities and needs.

In this way, the doctoral programme prepares students specifically for the various, diverse fields of work that physicists in our society take up.
