# Physics (MSc) at TU Berlin

The best-reviewed programme in our TU Berlin set (4.4★ on StudyCheck, 100% recommendation): a research-driven physics master built around four elective specialisations chosen from a wide menu — optics and photonics, quantum technologies, semiconductor and nanoscience, astrophysics and more — feeding a full-year thesis. Honest language note: the language of instruction is recorded as mixed pending confirmation; verify before applying. It replaces Computational Engineering Sciences on this shortlist, which research confirmed as German/mixed-taught. Based at TU Berlin's Charlottenburg campus, with Berlin-Adlershof's photonics and quantum research cluster in the same city.
