Master of Science in Engineering Physics

["The Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg and the Emden/Leer University of Applied Sciences offer the international programme in Engineering Physics to close the gap between traditional physics and engineering education. The internationally-oriented degree programme in Engineering Physics gives students insights into current research fields and new developments in modern applied physics.Biomedical PhysicsProviding at first a basic foundation in anatomy and physiology, the specialisation in "Biomedical Physics" goes on to emphasise on modern methods in medical radiation applications such as radiotherapy, nuclear medicine or radiology, and basics of minimal invasive therapy including micromechanical and laser assisted methods as well as other imaging techniques such as ultrasound, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, and optical tomography. Well-established medical engineering physics such as medical electronics, data and image acquisition and processing, radiation biophysics, laboratory diagnostics, and biomechanics are also covered. Training is performed in close cooperation with the Medical Centre for Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine at the Pius-Hospital Oldenburg.AcousticsThe "Acoustics" specialisation covers audible sound as well as infrasound, ultrasound, structure-born sound and mechanical vibrations. Topics address basics of radiation and wave propagation, acoustic properties of matter, physical and technical properties of electro-acoustic transducers, and extend to numerical calculation of mechanical vibrations, advanced (speech) signal processing and machine learning, and the perception and evaluation of sound and vibrations by humans. The subjective perception of sound, binaural hearing and speech intelligibility, improved audio reproduction and virtual acoustics, sound design of products and vehicles are fields of research in Oldenburg.Laser & OpticsLaser technology and optics are key technologies of the 21st century. Fibre optic networks for data transmission, optical data carriers, lithography for the production of microchips are examples. Optical diagnostics are indispensable in medicine and environmental technology. Lasers are a tool for cutting, welding, drilling, perforating and marking.Renewable EnergyEducation in the field of Renewable Energy (RE) is strongly correlated with models of the future energy supply. RE research and education at the University of Oldenburg is focused on physical, technical, ICT, and economic issues of RE power generation and its system integration. Many research groups within the Institute of Physics are focusing on material research (photovoltaics, battery, nano-optics) and cooperating with theoretical and applied physics. Furthermore, there is a broad range of research in the field of wind energy physics: wind energy systems, turbulence, wind energy and statistics, and wind and solar energy meteorology."]
