thank you very much!

Would you happen to know what things i should study before preparing myself for the program?

I spoke with the buddy during the summer and he told me I should be very comfortable with Calculus 1 (Integral and Differential), as well as Linear Algebra. Most Non Eu students must take one year of college before applying, so they get plenty of time to learn. I would get a good non-calculus physics books such as Giancoli, as well as one with Calculus once you are comfortable with it.

Thank you for the information it really helps. Today I was able to get the apostille stamp. Yet, all they did was staple my notarized diploma copy, notarized high school transcript copy, and a notarized affidavit that states both the transcripts and the diploma have been notarized and then they gave me one apostille stamp for everything. Is this acceptable to send to the university or will they reject it?

Hey

I'm working on that myself, so I cannot give a definite answer. You should contact the university or maybe the German embassy. They might be able to help. This should prove useful:

Please note that you need not submit your proof of English proficiency if you are a native of an English-speaking country.

Hey guys, the University website no longer displays the program, so I don't know if it got canceled or what.

 

[Arya Prasetya]

Hi Patricio, I am currently enrolled in IPSP and the programme is still well and alive. They've just moved the page recently. If you do have questions though, feel free to PM me.

Hey Issac-Einstein, You seem a fellow Indian. There are many criterias and exams for pursuing Physics as a career option. You can Private message me if you want. I could help you straighting up your path :)

Hi Rohan , I would like to contact in you in private regarding the IPSP. I am also from INDIA. Need some help.

 

[PcumP_Ravenclaw]

What English equivalent books can I read for "Lineare Algebra" by Siegfried Bosch. This book is fully in German.

I just want to prepare for this course. :)

 

[Edmann]

Bro. I don't really know but, Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right is a masterpiece.

 

[krishthelegend]

I am applying this year for the winter sem, IPSP...

 

[MedLam]

Hey guys, my high school certificate is not equivalent to the German Abitur, can I still enroll without going through the studienkolleg? because the websites states that "If you are applying for the International Physics Studies Programme as an undergraduate" you just need proof of the English language and your high school certificate. Need reply ASAP

 

[krishthelegend]

Which country are u from? I have a method for indians.

Hi,
Does anyone have a link to the entire syllabus covered at Leipzig for this program? And secondly, is anyone applying on this forum for 2017 winter semester?

 

[Shrey Aryan]

Hey, Shrey. You might want to check this out @ https://almaweb.uni-leipzig.de/scri...&ARGUMENTS=-N000000000000002,-N000408,-Acc_en.

And, yeah, I'm applying for IPSP this summer.

Hi, thanks for replying. So you're already in college, right?

 

[Sanjay Yadav]

Hi, thanks for replying. So you're already in college, right?

Yeah. Right now, I'm doin' my B.Sc. in Physics, Mathematics & Computer Science at St. Joseph's College, Bangalore.

 

[Shrey Aryan]

Yeah. Right now, I'm doin' my B.Sc. in Physics, Mathematics & Computer Science at St. Joseph's College, Bangalore.

Oh, alright... I'll be most probably joining in the winter from semester 1. What made you change your mind? I mean you could have stayed here as well.

 

[Shrey Aryan]

The thing is I am looking for colleges in India as well and in particular, in Banglore because it is close to a couple of Physics institutes such as ICTS etc.

 

[Shrey Aryan]

Maybe you could share some insights into how is college teaching in Banglore. Thanks.

 

[Sanjay Yadav]

Oh, alright... I'll be most probably joining in the winter from semester 1. What made you change your mind? I mean you could have stayed here as well.

Not really, dude. Indian physics courses are not so rigorous compared to its German counterparts. I mean, you could try joining some elite science institutes in Bangalore such as the IISc (or the ICTS), but, yet, end up thinking otherwise.

Yeah, even I was concerned about the rigor. This course is actually teaching quite advanced Math and Physics and has a thesis at the end. I think it is splendid.

Well, I think it's more than just splendid. I mean, I've heard people say that IPSP's math is really rigorous and strenuous. And, trust me, those two adjectives are really tempting to a budding physicist like me.

Same here...It was nice talking to you. Would you mind sharing your e-mail address so that we can stay in touch? Mine is shrey183[at]gmail[dot]com.

Hi, I'm applying for winter semester 2017/18. I am already in my 3rd year of physics under-graduation in Brazil (5 semester) at a federal university, so i wonder what are the grades necessary at leipzig university for the courses (to pass a semester)... I want to know if they are similar to Brazil cause if they are I can apply for a more forward semester, but if not I'll have to star over (which is fine because we have more years here so I still would have 2 and a half years to go - 5 semesters)

 

[Chris_H_R]

Hi, I'm also planning on applying for winter semester 2017/2018. I was wondering if there are any other high school grads planning on applying, just to get to know some potential course mates.

 

[Alex_Zendo]

Hi Stephany and Chris, I will be applying for 17/18 start. Not a high school grad though- already have another bachelors degree and some work and adventure experience in life hehe

Planning to start the path to do a Ph.D now. I am pretty certain I'll be coming if I sort my financial situation until then. If anyone wants, you can email me at alex dot vysnia <a> g m ail dot com, we could do some prep together and ace the first year. Thinking about revising maths and probably studying ahead as much as possible and of course having some fun learning physics before I start

Hey Alex, hopefully we'll both end up in Leipzig come October. I'm just waiting to graduate in a week and receive my full transcript. What by chance is your previous bachelors in? I'm thinking of staying on at least for a masters, not sure if I'm going to hang on long enough for a Ph.D but who knows?

I think I'll shoot you an email, I could definitely use the calc practice over the summer! Just a quick question; how much German if any do you speak? Just want to gauge where I'm at compared to everyone else. I'm by no means fluent, probably around a B1.

 

[Alex_Zendo]

Haven't studied German for about 10 years now, so probably around eine Kartoffel.. Have the basics, which I haven't used for a while, but I don't think that would be an issue, since the course itself is 100% English.

Since my previous bachelors is in Environmental Sustainability, I am making myself an extensive syllabus for math revision and learning new stuff. I have been working as a developer for the past few years and during my first bachelor, so hopefully it won't be too hard to pick up maths again, as I was still learning new concepts often and physics.. well it's always a hobby.

I'm not sure if I would stay even for Masters in Leipzig as well, unless I really like it there, which is absolutely possible for all I know.

If you e-mail me, I won't be able to reply for 2-3 weeks from now- doing a retreat in Indonesian jungle, but after that I will concentrate on Leipzig :)

Hi everyone İm going to apply 17/18 too i have already a bachelor degree too (geological engineering) İ am waiting for some financial things but i hope that i will come to Leipzig for IPSP
