What is it about?
Starting Wintersemester 2026/2027
Microsystems and semiconductor technology, innovative energy systems, smart materials, laser-based communication networks: these are fields of technology that are shaping our lives now and will continue to do so in the future. And they will also play a key role in determining Germany’s competitiveness as a place for doing business.
That's why research, industry, and administration need engineers who can independently and confidently familiarize themselves with a wide range of tasks, thanks to their broad knowledge and skills in the technologically relevant fields of physics and engineering.
In the Applied Physics specialization of the bachelor's degree program in Applied Engineering Sciences, you’ll receive broad foundational training in mathematics, science, and technology. In practical courses, you’ll deepen your knowledge of various focus areas in our laboratories for micro- and nanotechnologies, renewable energies, electronics, laser applications, vacuum technology, quantum technology, detector technology, and in the laboratories for the Biomedical Engineering specialization. It’s your choice.
Instructors at Hochschule RheinMain work closely with research facilities, development-focused industrial companies, and small and medium-sized companies in the Rhine-Main area and across Germany. This means you’ll have the opportunity to complete an internship or your thesis at one of these partners, or at the university’s own dedicated laboratories.
What can I do with it?
As a graduate of the Applied Physics specialization in the Applied Engineering Sciences degree program, you’ll be a physics engineer and able to flexibly adapt to changing needs: you’ll form a bridge between science and technology, between ideas and their application.
Tasks and activities are in the field of research and development in industrial or institutional research facilities and departments, in companies with sophisticated (new, interdisciplinary, often shifting) technological fields (high-tech companies, technology startups, etc.) as well as in engineering firms, patent law firms, government agencies with a corresponding need for physical and technological know-how, and sales and marketing companies focusing on technology.
As another unique feature, Hochschule RheinMain has developed a master’s degree program in Applied Physics that is aligned with the Applied Physics specialization in the bachelor’s degree program.
