Excellent Student-to-Staff Ratio
From the first semester on our students benefit from an excellent student-to- staff ratio that is unique both on the national and international level. It allows the students to get in touch with our research groups early on in their studies. The study-friendly environment makes the Department of Physics an attractive choice for students from Switzerland and all over the world.
Interdisciplinary Studies
Students at our physics department also take courses in other disciplines. The Departments of Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Informatics teach a wide variety of complementary lectures and these departments also offer the two interdisciplinary degree programs of nanosciences and computational sciences. Our students also have access to courses offered by other faculties e.g. in the humanities or social science.
Family Atmosphere
The familiar and friendly environment of the Department of Physics enables our students not only to receive an excellent academic education, but also to enjoy good social interaction. Our Physics department creates a warm atmosphere through exciting activities such as the integration competition, joint barbecues and the very popular Games Night. Solving exercises together not only deepens and exchanges knowledge, but also strengthens team spirit.
Proximity to Research
Our renowned professors and lecturers enjoy an outstanding reputation both nationally and internationally, and bring a keen knowledge of the latest and most cutting-edge science to their teaching. This enables us to offer a wide range of courses on state-of-the-art research topics in nano and quantum physics, as well as cosmology and particle physics. The close connection between teaching and research is also exemplified by practical research courses, which take place directly in the laboratories of our research groups and are available to our students at an early stage of their studies.
