Information for International Students

You would like to study PHYSICS in Linz?
→ You are MOST WELCOME!

We offer:

	high quality instruction (high ratio of teachers : students)
	research at a high international standard

We have strong groups in:

	Applied Physics	Angewandte Physik
	Atomic Physics & Surface Science	Atom- & Oberfl\ächenphysik
	Biophysics	Biophysik
	Didactics of Physics	Didaktik der Physik
	Semiconductor & Solid State Physics	Halbleiter- & Festkörperphysik
	Soft Matter Physics	Physik der Weichen Materie
	Theoretical Physics	Theoretische Physik

Teaching:
Usually, lectures are held in German. However,

we have the policy to hold lectures in English on request

(decision of the "Studienkommission" (Studies and Curriculum Committee, 10.12.04): all lectures of the "2. Studienabschnitt" (= from the 5th semester on) can be held in English if any participant asks for it)

You find a (German) list of the courses in the present and recent semesters under the following links:
(giving you the lectures offered by the above groups)

Further (English) course information via "LVA":
( this system is going to be replaced by kusss, cf.below, so I don't know how long it will still work)

LVA Course Catlogue in English

choose the appropriate semester (bottom of page, capital "S"/"W" for summer/winter term)

enter any information obtained from the above lists → search

yields English title(s) (+ sometimes further information under "Course Description")

current and recent semesters:

Standard path for the JKU course catalogue: "Kepler University Student Support System" kusss:
(click "English" on top → "Course Registration" under "Guestroom" (left menu) → "Mit LVA-Suche" → you'll be prompted for a search term (part of the course title) )
hint: using "Physik", which is part of both German expressions "Physik" (physics) and "physikalisch" (physical), yields most of the physics courses offered in the semester chosen. The differenc to the links above is that i) you miss courses like "surface analysis" but ii) also find courses like "Physikalische Chemie" offered by other institutes.
