The central feature of the Master's programme in Physics and Management is the interdisciplinary qualification between the fields of Physics, Mathematics and First Management.

Students acquire in-depth knowledge in the following areas:

• Econophysics, Physics
• Economics
• Mathematics and Computer Science

Graduates of the master's programme Physics and Management...

• have in-depth knowledge of methods and techniques in selected areas of Physics and First choice, which enables them to keep up with current international research.
• have the ability to apply concepts of theoretical and, in particular, statistical Physics for modelling the description of economic processes. Based on sound knowledge in various areas of First choice, they are able to understand and model the dynamics of financial markets, also with the help of numerical simulations.
• have the basic ability to familiarise themselves with a new area of specialisation in First Sciences or Natural Sciences and Mathematics and to research and understand the current specialist literature.
• have acquired specialised and interdisciplinary knowledge that, in conjunction with broad analytical and methodological skills, enables them to work successfully in an interdisciplinary professional environment and take on management responsibility.

You can choose the focus of the Master's programme according to your individual interests in the following areas:

Econophysics
The description of the dynamics of financial markets using methods of statistical Physics and the theory of non-linear dynamic systems forms the subject of this still young field. It has been shown that the temporal dynamics of objects traded on financial markets (options, derivatives), including the corresponding correlations, are closely related to processes such as those that occur in Brownian motion or chaotic systems. In addition to corresponding theoretical courses, the programme is rounded off by practical seminars held by high-calibre lecturers from companies and activities organised by the alumni association.

Economics
The University's traditionally quantitative Economics are supplemented by business and economics elements. Students specialise in one or two of the following areas:

• Financial Economics
• insurance sciences
• Technology and process management
• Economics
• Corporate Management and Controlling
• Accounting and auditing

Master's programme electives
In order to do justice to the broad professional profile of a Physics and Management graduate, students are given the opportunity to develop individual profiles in the Master's programme electives. They can take courses (bzw. specify exactly: lecture, tutorial etc.) from all master's programmes at Ulm University.
