Courses Masters course in Physics in Germany

AI Thread Summary
A student currently in the fifth semester of a Bachelor's program in Physics at a university in India is seeking guidance on pursuing a Master's degree in Physics in Germany, specifically programs taught in English. Key universities mentioned include TU Munich, FU Berlin, Bonn, Stuttgart, and LMU Munich. The student is particularly interested in the University of Stuttgart but is concerned about the GRE requirement for admission. Responses indicate that the GRE is not necessary for Stuttgart, and even if submitted, it may not significantly impact the application since German universities prioritize academic grades over standardized tests. The discussion emphasizes the importance of contacting admissions offices for specific requirements and clarifies that GPA is not commonly used in Germany; instead, a transcript of grades is preferred.

I am a student doing Bachelors studies in Physics at a reputed university in India. I am presently in 5th semester of my course and I desire to do my masters course in the same subject in Germany. I will be obliged if someone helps me out in this matter by suggesting the names of competent Universities in Germany offering masters course in Physics. Also the language of instruction has to be English as I do not have any knowledge in German. Thank you all.

You can use the search feature here (international = held in English):
http://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/07535.en.html

Some of the big names are FU Berlin,Bonn,Stuttgart. Karlsruhe,TU Munich and LMU Munich,,,,,,,etc...

I can assist if you have questions in connection with the last two, expect a high probability that I will reply late since I am occupied with certain stuff till the end of the month.

Thank you a lot for your assistance..
 
Here in Stuttgart there's a International Master's program (in English), which is take by mostly international students with your interests.
 
Thank you. I do know about Stuttgart. But I want to know whether I need to appear at the GRE to apply there as it is not possible for me to appear at the same exam. If not, the University of Stuttgart is obviously a priority.
 
sorry, I think I didn't get the question, but I think you don't need a GRE test.

Even though the GRE is not required, are those who submit it considered over the other applicants? What is the American equivalent of a 3.6 GPA?

I think you could just ask the guys responsible for the admission, if it would help to provide some GRE scores. If they are good, I think they won't harm. I personally think, the non-specialized GRE doesn't really say if you're a good physicist or not, and the stuff they are asking in the test is kinda high school level in Germany. We have a pretty homogenous school system in Germany, so standardized tests are not really nessecary. The admission guys will probably have a closer look on your grades in physics.
Also GPA is not a thing here,(same reason as above). Just write a transcript of all grades with the original and converted grades: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_Point_Average#Germany
