General Information
Physics has been one of the prominent subjects to study since the foundation of the ETH. It has a long tradition of introducing the most current fields of research into its curriculum. This way our students enjoy a solid foundation in the bachelor courses that seamlessly connects to hands-on contact with research performed at the Department of Physics at the master stage.
For many students the PhD studies are a perfect continuation of their career after the master degree. They combine original research with specialised doctorate courses and teaching activities.
The curriculum of Physics at ETH is closely tied to Mathematics. This pair has been complemented by a third field of Computational Science and Engineering which has its own curriculum. The close connection between these three subjects shows not only in their common studies administration but also in the possibility to easily change between subjects in the first year of the curricula. There is a lot of information that may be useful for students. In these pages we guide you to the relevant places.
