University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer
Courses are held in English, additional German courses are available. Participants can choose to write the Bachelor's thesis in either language.
The application deadline is 15 October. However, it is recommend that applicants send in their applications by 1 July.
During the first two years, students will concentrate on physics and mathematics combined with an introduction to topics on engineering. In the laboratory projects, students are gradually introduced to self-contained laboratory work. The subject of specialisation (Laser & Optics, Biomedical Physics, Acoustics and Renewable Energy) is introduced in the third semester. Business administration and languages are part of the programme. Students have to complete an internship in the sixth semester.
Biomedical Physics
Modern medicine employs a multitude of sophisticated, physically based techniques both in therapy and diagnostics. Providing at first a basic foundation in anatomy and physiology, the specialisation "Biomedical Physics" goes on to emphasise on modern methods in medical radiation applications such as radiotherapy, nuclear medicine or radiology and basics of minimal invasive therapy including micromechanical and laser assisted methods as well as other imaging techniques such as ultrasound, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and optical tomography. Well-established medical engineering physics such as medical electronics, data and image acquisition and processing, radiation biophysics, laboratory diagnostics and biomechanics are also covered. Combining engineering, scientific and biomedical skills, the graduate is well equipped with urgently needed qualifications for medical research and development. Training in the field of medical radiation physics is performed in cooperation with the Medical Centre for Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine at the Pius-Hospital Oldenburg.
Acoustics
The specialisation "Sound & Vibration" covers infrasound, audible sound, ultrasound and structure born sound and mechanical vibrations. Topics address digital signal processing, basics of radiation and wave propagation, physical and technical properties of electro-acoustic transducers, numerical calculation of mechanical vibrations, acoustic properties of matter, and evaluation of the impact of sound and vibrations on humans. Subjective perception of sound, physics of the ear, sound design of products, sound environment of transportation means, and noise abatement are fields of research in Oldenburg.
Laser & Optics
Laser technology and optics are key technologies of the 21st century. Fibre optic networks for data transmission, optical data carriers, or lithography for the production of microchips are examples. Optical diagnostics are indispensable in medicine and environmental technology. Lasers are a tool for cutting, welding, drilling, perforating and marking.
Renewable Energy
Education in the field of Renewable Energy (RE) is strongly correlated with models of the future energy supply. Much of the research in RE is conducted in disciplines like physics and engineering. RE research and education at the University of Oldenburg is focused on physical, technical, ICT, and economic issues of RE power generation and its system integration. Detailed information on RE based research, RE-related educational programmes (Bachelor's/Master's), and the diversity of RE courses can be found on the platform for the study of Renewable Energy at the University of Oldenburg.
On the one hand, the programme is rather strictly organised, and students are encouraged to reach their goals in the scheduled period of time. For instance, lectures are supported by supervised work in small groups in the tutorials. On the other hand, personal initiative and individual work are encouraged through long-term projects in the laboratory.
Engineering physics is offered by the University of Oldenburg and the University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer. During the first and second years, most lectures will be held in Oldenburg. There is one exception: the laboratory projects will take place partly in Emden. You will go to Emden once a week. You will receive a "Semesterticket" when you enrol, which allows you to use public transport free of charge.
Individual part-time studies are possible.

Internship in a company or research institution within the subject area of specialisation: physics, engineering, or an individual specialisation
Approx. 400 EUR per semester
You should expect to spend about 850 EUR per month to cover personal expenses (accommodation, health insurance, food).
Entrance qualification to a Bachelor's degree or an equivalent (secondary school degree equivalent to German "Fachhochschulreife" or "Abitur")
Please see: http://www.anabin.de
Command of English: B2
Command of German: A2
The application deadline is 15 October. However, it is recommend that applicants send in their applications by 1 July.
Students are permitted to work while they pursue their studies. If you are a student from a non-EU country, you are allowed to work 120 full or 240 half workdays per year.
Furnished accommodation is available at a cost of 150-300 EUR per month (halls of residence or private).
If you want to come to Oldenburg from abroad, there is now less need to worry about accommodation or other organisational matters. The Studentenwerk Oldenburg offers international students a service package for 964 EUR, which includes accommodation for six months and other services that should help you get started. Furthermore, a counselling service is available to get you safely through your first weeks and months in Oldenburg.
