The learning space physics gives you the opportunity to connect and study together with other students of the faculty of physics.
We offer an open learning space two times a week. Here, we want to give students the opportunity to network and help each other. The learning space refers to students of all semesters and is mentored by experienced students.

The open learning space will take place every Wednesday and Friday at 2 p.m. in the room 2.120.

You find us on the C@mpus system under the number 000212000 "Lernunterstützung Physik 1.-6. Semester".

On top of that we want to point you towards our Discord server, on which we want all students of physics to network and help each other.

Physics Mentoring Program

BAföG is the abbreviation for Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz, or Federal Training Assistance Act, which provides state funding for high school and university students to pursue education and training. The stated aim of BAföG is to enable young people to take up education or training, even where their individual social and economic circumstances might not allow it.

A Transcript of Records printed out from the C@mpus-platform or issued by the Examination Office is sufficient proof of regular studies for the BAföG-Office. Form N° 5 does not need to be filled out additionally.

The Department of Physics has defined the following number of credits accounted by the BAföG-Office as a regular course of study.

These minimal requirements apply without exemption.

B.Sc. Physics

Upon completion of the 2nd semester:     42 ECTS
Upon completion of the 3rd semester:      54 ECTS
Upon completion of the 4th semester:      82 ECTS
Upon completion of the 5th semester:      98 ECTS

Teacher Education Degree (nach GymPO I)
(Physics and Didactics Modules)

Upon completion of the 2nd semester:     18 ECTS
Upon completion of the 3rd semester:      27 ECTS
Upon completion of the 4th semester:      42 ECTS
Upon completion of the 5th semester:      53 ECTS

Only ECTS Credit points acquired in the respective curriculum are valid, modules of the master program are not valid in this calculation.

Please contact Dr. Kathrin Gallmeister, the BAföG-Advisor for the Study Programs in the Department of Physics if you have any further questions.

The choice of the appropriate degree program is not an easy decision for high school graduates. In order to provide prospective students with guidance and to avoid unnecessary dropouts, the University of Stuttgart has created the "Study Compass Stuttgart". This offer is more than just a simple website with information. The Study Compass Stuttgart guides you to questions that are especially important for the study programme, similar to a counselling interview. Various offerings, such as films and arithmetic exercises, help you to answer these questions for yourself. A counselling interview can't be replaced, but it is a good initial assessment. The Department of Physics participates in this project with the degree programs "B.Sc. Physics" and "B.A. Gymnasiales Lehramt Physik". The Study Compass Stuttgart offers a brief introduction to the subject of choice, information on the important skills for studying, a check of interests and expectations, examples with typical topics of the subject and interviews with students and professors. In addition, the Study Compass Stuttgart provides an overview of the career fields of graduates.

Scholarships and foundations offer a good possibility for at least partial financing of your studies. To obtain funding, you do not always need a transcript with top grades. There are scholarships and foundations that will also support you for your competencies, such as in journalism, or in another area, such as having extensive international experience.
