1.They have sound knowledge of classical physics (mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, vibrations, waves and optics) and are familiar with the fundamentals of quantum, atomic and molecular, nuclear, elementary particle and solid state physics.√          
2.They are familiar  with  important  mathematical  methods  used  in  physics  and  can  use these to solve physics problems. √         
3.They have an extensive understanding of the fundamental principles of physics, their inherent relation and mathematical formulation and, based on this, have acquired methods suitable for theoretical analysis, modelling and simulation of relevant processes.  √        
4.They have  applied  their  knowledge  to  physics problems  in  an  exemplary  manner  and studied some areas in greater depth, thereby acquiring a first basis for problem solving competence.   √       
5.They have a basic capacity to comprehend physics problems. This will be in general; however, it does not yet facilitate a deeper understanding of current research areas.    √      
6.They are therefore in a position to independently classify physics-based and to some extent  also  interdisciplinary  problems  that  require  a  target-oriented  and  logic-based  approach,  and  to  analyse  and/or  solve  them  by  using  natural  scientific  and  mathematical methods.    √      
7.They are familiar with basic principles of experimentation, are able to use modern physics measurement methods, and are in a position to assess the significance of results correctly.     √     
8.They have generally also acquired an overview knowledge in selected other natural science subjects or technical disciplines.      √    
9.They are able to apply their knowledge to different fields and act responsibly in their professional activity. They are moreover able to recognize new trends  in their subject area and integrate the relevant methodology-possibly after appropriate qualification-into their further work.       √   
10.They  are  able  to  continuously  and  self-fulfilment  extend  and  deepen  the  knowledge  acquired  in  the  Bachelor’s  degree  programme of Physics.  They are familiar with suitable learning strategies (lifelong learning) for this; they are in particular capable of a consecutive Master’s degree programme in principle.        √  
11.They have gained initial experience with regard to generic qualifications (e.g. time  management,  study  and  work  techniques,  willingness  to  cooperate,  capacity  for  teamwork, ability to communicate and communication techniques, rules of good scientific practice) in their degree programme, and are able to develop these skills further.         √ 
12.They are familiar with the basic elements of the relevant specialized English.          √
13.They are able to solve a simple scientific problem and to present their results orally (lecture) and in writing (demonstrated in a Bachelor’s thesis).          √

Note:

1 In UNP, referring to 2019/2020 academic handbook, 1 CU for bachelor degree equals to 3 workhours per week or 170 minutes (50’ face to face learning, 60’ structured learning, and 60’ independent learning). In one semester, courses are conducted in 14 weeks (excluding mid- and end-term exam). Thus, 1 CU equals to 39.67 workhours per semester.

2 1 CU equals to 1.58 ECTS, assuming that 1 ECTS equals to 28.56 workhours per semester.
