A joint programme of Institut Polytechnique de Paris and Freie Universität Berlin Graduates of the physics double degree programme will receive degree certificates from both the Freie Universität Berlin and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris . Over the last 10 years, dozens of our physics students have benefited from this double degree programme, which is certified by the Franco-German University . Key facts: two degrees in one programme consecutive, research-oriented Master's course two-year programme (120 credit points) qualifies graduates for international careers in research 350 EUR support per month for 10 months during stay abroad French-German Master's Double Degree Programme First year – study phase in Berlin Students spend the first year at Freie Universität Berlin and complete several modules of their choice. The Statistical Physics and Thermodynamics module is mandatory. Second year – research phase in Palaiseau/Paris Students spend the second year of the programme at Institut Polytechnique de Paris . During the first six months, they will take compulsory modules (mostly lectures on physics) as well as one module on French language and cultural literacy. Double degree students also engage in a cohesive research phase of twelve months within one of the research groups at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, preparing for their Master's theses. Flyer for the "Double Degree Programme in Physics" We are strong in biophysics, quantum physics, nanophysics and ultrafast physics. The Department of Physics at Freie Universität Berlin is strong in both theoretical and experimental physics, with groups focused on molecular biophysics , nanosystems , ultrafast physics , and quantum physics . The department is also home to research centres dedicated to nanoelectronics, quantum computing, photosynthesis, and catalysis as well as the Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems.
