Bachelor: Schedule for the 5th semester

An example schedule for the “usual progress” in the fifth semester of the Bachelor of Science program in Physics is shown below. The entries for the tutorials/seminars are example entries, i. e. other times are also offered and can be viewed in the course overview or on the respective course websites.

The schedule is equally valid for people in a double bachelor’s (2FB) program; however, they only have to take the module Structure of Matter (i. e. the lectures Nuclear and Particle Physics, Condensed Matter Physics as well as Astrophysics and Cosmology, including tutorials and a seminar), see notes. Unfortunately, we don’t have schedules for all possible subject combinations in store ;-)

The course overview as well as the respective official versions of the exam regulations and the curriculum can be found here.

Notes

^[1] not for double bachelor’s (2FB)
^[2] For the Laboratory Course II (“F-Praktikum”), only six experiments must be completed per semester, i. e. you do not have to do an experiment every Monday.
^[3] The lecture Numerical Solution of Physical Problems (with tutorials) is only one of many ways of completing the module Computational Physics (starts in the fourth semester with the lecture Introduction to Scientific Programming). The following possibilities are available as alternatives:
- Computer-assisted Experimentation (EIRE): Computer-lab, 1 week during the semester break (also possible during the summer semester)
- Project as part of the interdisciplinary practical course Nonlinear Modeling in the Sciences (also possible during the summer semester)
- A “suitable course by the Zentrum für Informationsverarbeitung” (ZIV)
^[4] The tutorials within the module Structure of Matter refer to the two lectures Nuclear and Particle Physics and Condensed Matter Physics. Every week, in alternation, the tutorial for one of both lectures takes place, i. e. in one week, this date is the tutorial for Nuclear and Particle Physics, in the next week the tutorial for Condensed Matter Physics and so on.
^[5] For the seminar in the module Structure of Matter, you can choose one of the many seminars being offered. They differ in content/topics and more or less correspond to the different institutes at the department. They also take place on different dates (i. e. not all on the specified date). A list of the available seminars can be found in the course overview. The seminar can also be taken in the 6th semester, although in that case, the oral exam about the module’s contents must of course be done in the 6th semester as well.
