and livein high tech country


The studycourse ‘Engineering Physics‘offers anybody, who is inter-ested in physics or medicine,a great opportunity for furtherstudies. Furthermore the pos-sibility to learn another languageis especially valued. Studyingin Germany is much cheapercompared to other countrieslike Great Britain or USA. Nonethe less you will receive first-class education in any subject.

The possibilityto meet people from differentcountries and cultures whilebeing able to develop yourselfand study further at the sametime makes these study coursessomething special. Furtherfirst-class lecturers and special-ists are available, who are helpful and support willingstudents at all times.

What is so special aboutOldenburg/Emden and the

study courses there?

Why come to study in Oldenburg/Emden, Germany?


Five fields of specialisa-tion with promising career oppor-tunities are offered: BiomedicalPhysics, Laser & Optics, MaterialsScience, Renewable Energy, andSound & Vibration. The programmeis embedded within a well-evolvedresearch environment in thesefields, guaranteeing state-of-the-art education for qualified foreignand national students. Two inter-national degrees are available: thebasic three year course Bachelor ofEngineering (B.Eng.) and theadvanced two years course Masterof Science (M.Sc.).

The programme distinguishesitself not only through professionalexcellence, but also through a strongemphasis on intercultural exchange:roughly half of the participants arefrom abroad. No proof of Germanlanguage proficiency is necessaryfor the Bachelor programme.During the first year all lectures will

EngineeringPhysics be given in English*. German will

be learnt in compulsory Germanlanguage classes. This will be agood preparation for attendingadvanced lectures, since some of them are given completely inGerman. In order to give you im-mediate access to the whole rangeof lectures offered in the departments,proficiency in German is requiredfor the Master of Science programme.The “Zertifikat Deutsch als Fremd-sprache” (ZdaF) of the Goethe-Institute or an equivalent certificateis accepted as proof.

Transfer students are welcome! Graduate the Master Programme of Engineering Physicsor even transfer to our BachelorProgramme. Our staff will help you with the formalities to transfersmoothly to our university.

The vast range of lasertechnology applications is mirroredin laser systems design, materialsprocessing, medical applications,optical metrology, optical communi-cation technology, and analytics.

The past two decades haveexperienced a flood of industrialactivity in these fields with noebbing of this trend in sight.Exemplary growing sectors em-ploying these technologies are theautomobile industry (welding,automation control, rapid proto-

typing), semiconductor manufactu-ring (wafer annealing, qualitycontrol) as well as optical communi-cation (fibre optical networks,optical data storage) and lasers inmedical applications.

Optical technologies allowunique high-precision and ultra-fast measurements, i.e. deformationsand vibration of surfaces, non-destructive testing as well as measuring velocities, temperaturesand species concentrations even inhighly complex fluid flows.

Laser & Optics

Modern medicineemploys a multitude of sophistica-ted, physically based techniquesboth in therapy and diagnostics.Providing at first a basic foundationin anatomy and physiology, thespecialisation ‘Biomedical Physics’goes on to emphasise on modernmethods in medical radiationapplications such as radiotherapy,nuclear medicine or radiology,audiology, basics of minimal invasive therapy including micro-mechanical, laser assisted methodsas well as other imaging techniquessuch as ultrasound, NuclearMagnetic Resonance and opticaltomography. Well-establishedmedical engineering physics suchas medical electronics, data andimage acquisition and processing,

radiation biophysics, laboratorydiagnostics and biomechanics arealso covered.

Training in the field ofmedical radiation physics is perfor-med in close cooperation with theMedical Centre for Radiotherapyand Nuclear Medicine at the Pius-Hospital Oldenburg. Thereby thestudents are getting in touch withprofessional physicists from anearly stage of their programme andare trained on modern machinessuch as linear accelerators or latestgeneration Computer Tomographiesright from the beginning.

The syllabus of the Masterprogramme is in accordance withthe guidelines of the GermanSociety for Physicists in Medicine(DGMP).

Biomedical Physics


We teach in concepts forthe treatment, understanding, anddesign of novel material structures,such as quantum dots, quantum wires,superlattices as well as of novel types

of composite matter, that are beingapplied future in low-dimensional andnano-scale devices, and that will sub-stantially revolutionize mechanical,electronic and opto-electronic components.

Materials Science

A future regional,national and global energy supply- without regarding further eco-logical and climatic impacts oftoday’s fossil or nuclear energyconversion - is unthinkable withouta considerable contribution ofrenewable energies even in shortterm future. Solar radiation andwind represent not only theoreti-cally the larges fraction of renewable

energies but also the lion’s sharewith respect to technically exploi-table potentials.

We teach fundamentals ofthese types of renewable energies,theoretical and real limits for theirconversion and storage, as well aseducate in physical and technicalprinciples, concepts and in appli-cation of varying methods for theuse of solar light and wind energy.

RenewableEnergy

S&V cover infrasound,audible sound, ultrasound, structu-re born sound and vibrations.Topics address digital signal proces-sing, basics of wave radiation andpropagation, physical and technicalproperties of sensors and trans-ducers, numerical calculation ofvibrations, acoustic properties ofmatter, and evaluation of the impactof sound and vibrations on humans.Subjective perception of sound,physics of the ear, sound design ofproducts, sound ambiance of trans-portation means, and noise abatementare fields of research in Oldenburg.

Numerous career opportunitiesawait the graduate due to the ubi-quity and importance of sound andvibrations in engineering and sci-ence. Vibration control and moni-toring plays an important role inmachine design and quality con-trol. Modern structures with lighterand stronger materials are moreprone to detrimental vibrations. Car interior sound is designed tooptimise customer comfort. Ultra-sound is used in medical therapyand as a non-destructive tool inmedicine and materials.

Sound & Vibration


You enjoy fresh air andan intact environment? You don’tlike wasting your hours commut-ing? You feel at home when youmeet friends on the street? Thenfeel welcome to study here in the north-west of Germany.

The Carl von Ossietzky Uni-versity, Oldenburg, is one of theyoungest universities in Germany.The campus lies roughly 10 minutesby bicycle from the city centre andoffers the 12,000 students modernlecture theatres and laboratories,two large libraries, a refectory andgood sports facilities. Founded in1973, it grew out of the city’s 200-year-old teacher training college.Today, the university includes thedepartments of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Education,Economics, Languages, Business Studies, Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Computer Science.

The Institute of Physics(www.physik.uni-oldenburg.de)comprises roughly 100 scientistsand a total of 600 students plus 50 PhD students. In 17 sections andinstitutes, topics in theoretical,experimental and applied physicsare researched, from black holes tobicycles. Oldenburg is a pleasantcity of 155,000 inhabitants, withmany historic sites, parks, pubs and an exciting cultural life.

The University of AppliedSciences, Fachhochschule Olden-

burg/Ostfriesland/Wilhelmshavenwas also founded in 1973. Thelocation Ostfriesland is situated inthe port towns of Emden and Leeron the north-west coast, roughly70 km from Oldenburg. Ostfrieslandis a renowned holiday area, havinga unique atmosphere with lushfields, windmills and red-brickedhouses, as well as a long traditionin shipbuilding and seafaring.

In addition to the Depart-ment of Technical Sciences with thefields of Natural Sciences, Electricaland Mechanical Engineering(www.technik-emden.de), theDepartments of Business Studies,Social Sciences and the Institute of Maritime are available for the3700 registered students. In allareas, practical aspects are stronglyemphasised through integration inindustrial projects and in-houseresearch. This institutionis proud to be hometo the largest laserresearch centrein the greaterarea.
