Why study Science in Germany?

Science covers the fundamental disciplines that explain how the natural world works. It includes Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics, together with fields that build on them, such as Biochemistry, Materials Science, Forensic Science, Astrophysics and Geophysics.

Students learn the scientific method in practice: designing experiments, collecting and analysing data, building models and communicating results. Laboratory and fieldwork, programming and statistics are part of most programmes, and final-year research projects give experience of open-ended investigation.

A science degree suits students who are curious about why things happen and comfortable with mathematics and careful, detailed work. Research is highly international, with collaborations, conferences and large facilities shared across countries, so studying science abroad can offer access to different research groups, equipment and approaches.
