The common distinction between experimental physics and theoretical physics at universities only serves as a way to refer to different ways of working within the field of physics; it does not represent two different courses of study. The nature of physics consists in combining experiment and theory, and a course of study in physics includes both in the same measure. The goal of the course of study in Physics is to teach students the foundations of the field. Not until students write their final thesis do they tackle a special problem in physics from a experimental or a theoretical perspective. A very important prerequisite for studying physics is sufficient mathematical aptitude. Since physics makes much more intensive use of mathematics than other natural sciences, the physicist must acquire much better math skills than those taught in school. Mathematics and physics is thus a good combination of fields for students in the teacher education program.



Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.

Central Academic Advising Office


The University's Service Centre Studies - Central Student Advisory Service (ZSB) provides information and advice on all questions that may arise before, at the beginning and during your studies. The School of Education "Freiburg Advanced Centre of Education" (FACE) offers advice specifically for those interested in studying to become a teacher. If you have any further subject-specific questions, you can also contact the relevant student advisory service.
