International Master on Advanced methods in Particle Physics

Final examination and Award

The final examination takes place at TU Dortmund University. 

By successfully completing the degree program, candidates have demonstrated that they have learned advanced technical knowledge, skills and methods that are required for scientific work and for scientifically-oriented professional activity and that enable them to critically new scientific findings and use them in professional practice.
With the Master’s thesis, candidates should demonstrate that they can independently work on a problem setting in physics according to scientific methods and within a given period of time.
