Program description
By investigating the fundamental notions of space, time, and matter, physics has altered our understanding of the cosmos. Physics is not only the basis for the other natural sciences and many technical fields, but it is also an essential component of modern technology.
The physics major at Constructor University is a three-year BSc degree program. Its content is based on the criteria of the Konferenz der Fachbereiche der Physik (KFP) in Germany, the Institute of Physics (Britain) for BSc in Physics, and the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) physics test.
The first year begins with an overview of classical and modern physics, as well as its mathematical basis. The second year of study includes a thorough and advanced education in the foundations of physics (analytical mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and statistical physics), as well as subjects of current interest such computational physics or renewable energy. Finally, in the third year, students can choose from a variety of specialist courses such as condensed matter physics and particles, fields, and quanta.
A BSc in Physics from Constructor University provides a robust and adaptable basis for vocations ranging from fundamental research in academia to engineering in industry or education.
Six semesters of study totaling 180 ECTS credit points are included in the three-year undergraduate program (CP). The 3C-Model, an innovative and student-centered modularization method, organizes the discipline content of the three study years according to overarching themes.

Requirements for applicants
- Recommendation letter (from a teacher, counselor, chancellor, or principal)
- Official or certified copies of high school transcripts (last 2-3 years of transcripts)
- Educational history form
You must complete 'Additional High School Information' in the Common App's 'Questions' section. Here you must attach an Educational History Form listing all the schools you've attended up to now.
- Standardized testing (sat/act)
If your high school diploma doesn't grant you straight entrance to a German institution, SAT/ACT may be required for enrollment. University doesn't require test scores from Abitur graduates. If you don't submit a standardized test, your application will be evaluated based on your personal essay, recommendations, academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and application presentation.
- Language proficiency test
Test scores might show a non-native speaker's English skills. You'll get a waiver if:
- natural English speakers;
- trained entirely in English for at least 6 years;
- 600 or higher on Evidence-Based Reading and Writing;
- 9 or higher on ACT Writing.

About the university
Constructor University is one of the most internationally focused educational institutions in the globe and is located in Bremen, Germany. Since its inception in 2001, the university has attracted a diverse and talented student body from all corners of the globe.
More than 1,500 undergraduate and graduate students from more than 110 countries are presently residing on campus and being prepared for a global career in business and science.
Constructor University has a wide range of degrees that combine different fields of study, from the natural sciences, math, and engineering to the social sciences and economics.
Classes are small, and each professor works as a mentor and academic advisor for each student. From the first year of school, students are interested in research. Constructor University students learn to be responsible global citizens who can use the skills they've learned to make a change in the world.
Mission and goals
University goal is to inspire young, talented people, regardless of nationality, religion, or background, to become global citizens who can assume leadership and responsibility for the future sustainable and peaceful development of humanity through academic education, intensive support, and living together on an international campus.
From this mission statement, Constructor University has deduced four key goals for its educational profile:
- Quality is achieved, in part, by early student involvement in research projects, multidisciplinary instruction, and individualized academic mentoring.
- Individual development the development of social and self-competence in a diverse community.
- Interculturality fostering intercultural competence by residing on a campus with students from more than 110 different countries and learning there.
- Competence building providing the specialized and transdisciplinary skills necessary for a successful career in business or science.
