Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Rafid inquires about European universities offering undergraduate physics courses in English, noting that Swedish universities are not an option due to language barriers.
  • One participant suggests using resources like bachelorsportal.eu and DAAD to find English programs in Germany, mentioning specific universities such as Jacobs University and the University of Oldenburg.
  • Another participant confirms Jacobs University offers an English-taught physics program but raises concerns about high tuition fees, estimating them at 9,000 euros per semester.
  • The same participant speculates that a significant portion of Jacobs University students, possibly around 70%, receive scholarships, although they do not provide specific numbers.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the existence of English-taught physics programs in Germany, but there is uncertainty regarding the specifics of tuition fees and scholarship availability at Jacobs University.

Contextual Notes

Participants express varying levels of knowledge about tuition costs and scholarship opportunities, indicating a lack of comprehensive information on these topics.

Hi there,

I'm Rafid and I'm a highshool student from Bangladesh. I would like to pursue a physics major in my bachelors studies.

I have searched some universities in Sweden, all of which are great, but the language of instruction for all of them is Swedish. Are there any good universities in Europe (other than UK) which offer undergrad physics courses in English?

You can try : http://www.bachelorsportal.eu (use the advanced search, bare in mind it need not be comprehensive)

and to look to English programmes in Germany:

There is also Jacobs university (Bremen, Germany, high tuition fees since its a private university, most students have scholarships, its not so well known): http://www.jacobs-university.de

and the university of Oldenburg (1000eur per year, public university):

If you would like to consider learning a new language, Germany has much to offer with little tuition fees (~1000eur per year in public universities) compared to elsewhere (Sweden has already introduced tuition fees starting from this year, its a high number).

Yes, I'm aware of the fact that Jacob's University of Bremen offer undergrad physics course in English. But education is very expensive. As far as I know, tuition is 9,000 euros per semester. How often do they offer scholarships?

I am have no idea about the number, but I do expect that 70% of the students at least have scholarships.
