The Institute of Physics at the International University of Hessen focuses on several key research areas, including the intricate interplay between light and matter, quantum dynamics and control, nanostructures, laboratory astrophysics, magnetic layers, and surface physics. In our Master’s Programme in Physics, you’ll have the exceptional opportunity to collaborate with globally recognized scientists who are at the forefront of both fundamental and applied research.

One particularly exciting field of research centers around “Extreme Light for the Analysis and Control of Molecular Chirality” (ELCH). This specialization offers you the chance to harness cutting-edge tools in experimental and theoretical atomic and molecular physics, as well as optics and quantum optics (AMO), specifically in the gas phase. Here, you’ll delve into the realm of controlling and manipulating chirality at the individual molecule level. In the realm of laboratory astrophysics, you’ll engage in precision spectroscopy to investigate exotic molecules and clusters that typically only exist in interstellar space. By comparing your lab-based measurements with astronomical observations, you can identify previously unknown molecules.

In the domain of technical physics, you’ll analyze semiconductor nanostructures and nanophotonic components. These components have applications in optical communication and quantum information processing. Your investigations will involve optimizing these structures using semiconductor quantum dots. Additionally, the Centre for Interdisciplinary Nanostructure Science and Technology (CINSaT) provides a platform for tackling interdisciplinary research challenges at the juncture of physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering.

These and various other research avenues within the Master’s Programme in Physics at the International University of Hessen will equip you for a promising scientific career and prepare you for research-oriented roles in upcoming industrial projects. Our program offers captivating hands-on experiments within our well-equipped laboratories, as well as sophisticated modeling in theoretical physics. You’ll be immersed in a multicultural research team environment that fosters the exchange of ideas, making it an ideal setting for pursuing a subsequent doctoral degree or entering the professional arena.

If you’ve completed a bachelor’s degree in physics and possess a strong interest in research, the Institute of Physics at the International University of Hessen is the perfect destination to nurture your aspirations.
