The bachelor's degree in physics thus creates the basis for both an early, practice-oriented professional ability in industry and business as well as for a more scientifically-oriented training within the framework of a consecutive master's degree with a focus in particular in the nano / biosciences and computer science. The main research areas of Saarbr cken physics are ''soft condensed matter / biophysics'', ''solid condensed matter, nanostructures'' and ''quantum optics / quantum computing''.'
