Courses
The new focus point “Quantum Technologies” provides FAU students of the M.Sc. Physics with the best conditions to earn a qualification in quantum technologies. Students benefit from excellent and research-oriented teaching. Several new professorships further strengthen the expertise in quantum technologies at FAU. Given that the language of instruction in the M.Sc. Physics is English, students from Germany and other countries study together in an international environment.
All information on the focus point “Quantum Technologies” and on the application process for the M.Sc. Physics can be found online: https://www.physics.nat.fau.eu/ssc/prospectivestudents/#Physics-MSc.
The focus point “Optical Science” provides FAU students of the M.Sc. Physics with a broad range of qualifications in the field of optical science. This involves the areas of optics, information technology, and photonics, all being strongly supported by the close collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL).
All information on the focus point “Optical Science” and on the application process for the M.Sc. Physics can be found online: https://www.physics.nat.fau.eu/ssc/prospectivestudents/#Physics-MSc.
With the focus point “Condensed Matter Physics” for the M.Sc. Physics, FAU offers diverse modules in the field of condensed matter, including material development, mechanical engineering, and interactions with light. As the language of studies of the M.Sc. Physics is English, students from Germany and other countries study together in an international environment.

The Elite Graduate Programme in Physics – a unique course of studies funded directly by the Bavarian state government, FAU and University of Regensburg – offers exclusive research-focused courses embedded into the standard physics programme at Erlangen and Regensburg. These are complemented by an extensive programme of research schools and social activities, to support students to get diverse insight into the field of academic research.
More information on the Programme and on the application process can be found on the official website.
The Master Programme in Advanced Optical Technologies (MAOT) provides in-depth training in the fundamentals and applications of state-of-the-art optical technologies.It is highly interdisciplinary and brings together experts and knowledge from the fields of Engineering, Physics, Computer Science and Medicine.
In the MAOT programme students acquire this expertise from across the university in one integrated programme − practically unique in the field of optical technologies.
More information can be found on the official website.
The aim of the Master’s program in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Information Technology is to provide students with in-depth engineering methods and knowledge as well as research-qualifying scientific working methods.
A wide-ranging catalogue of modules enables many specialisations in the Master’s programme. The field of study chosen in the Bachelor’s programme can be further deepened in the Master’s programme, but there is also the possibility of choosing a new, different field of study. The complete course is held in German.
More information can be found on the official website.
Since fall 2023, the Department of EEI offers the new specialization “Applied Quantum Technologies” in the Master’s program. More information can be found on the website of the department. See also the current lectures and seminars offered by the Institute of Applied Quantum Technologies.
The interdisciplinary Master’s program “Quantum Engineering and Technologies” is planned for the future to connect the expertise of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Engineering. The targeted audience will include students from the disciplines of Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Chemistry.
