Studies
The Department of Physics provides dedicated basic physics education throughout all departments at ETH Zurich and offers its own students a rich and diverse curriculum.
Physics has been one of the key subjects to study since the foundation of ETH, with a long tradition of covering the most current fields of research in its curriculum. Our students gain a solid foundation in the three-year Bachelor programme, preparing them for the three-semester Master programme, which brings them into direct contact with research performed at the Department of Physics and includes a six-month thesis project in a research group. For many students the doctoral studies are a perfect continuation of their career after the master degree, combining original research with specialised doctorate courses and teaching activities.
