‟ Students are not just one among many, they are known within the department. ”

The programme covers a broad range of physics courses, experimental or theoretical ones, classical or quantum physics, as well as some interdisciplinary ones. This sets a very good basis for anyone wishing to pursue a master’s degree afterwards, which is the path most choose. 

A great perk of the university in general, especially in a specialised field like physics, is the small size of classes. Students are not just one among many, they are known within the department. You are actively working with the professors and lectures feel much more personal. For me, this study environment was really helpful and made me enjoy physics even more, even when courses became challenging, which will happen regardless of the university you study at.

For me, the highlight of the programme is the bachelor’s thesis. Students spend an entire semester working on their thesis project in one of the research groups of the department, gaining hands-on experience of what research is really like. Compared to other universities, where your thesis work might barely take 3 weeks, Uni.lu offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in your project for multiple months. For me, completing my thesis, singlehandedly justified all the effort, I had to put into the studies and in hindsight I can say I don’t regret choosing this study programme. 

I am currently pursuing my studies in the Master in Physics here at Uni.lu. The two programmes are well aligned and everything you need to know beforehand, was thoroughly taught in the Bachelor programme. And good news: the lectures are just as personal.”
