Physics as special minor in Informatics

In the degree program B.Sc. Informatics Physics can be chosen as special minor.

Curriculum

The curriculum on the B.Sc. Informatics foresees a minor with a workload of 21 CP. The mandatory individual course plan can be worked out with Dr. Katja Block (studium@nat.tum.de).

The modules available for selection and the ‘selection rules’ are set out below. Most students choose the so-called standard curriculum.

    PH0001: Experimental Physics 1 (9CP) in the WS
    PH0002: Experimental Physics 2 (9CP) in the SS
    PH0009: Beginners' practical course part 1 (5CP) in the SS

The standard curriculum conveys a completed section of the basic physical education (mechanics, electromagnetism) and can be mastered with the mathematical tools of the B.Sc. Informatics program.

Required Module

The module PH0001 Experimental Physics 1 is mandatory. It is recommended, to take this module in the third term.
