Vodcast: Coffee Break with… Prof. Regine von Klitzing

In conversation with #studentsofTUdarmstadt ambassador Sara Bevilacqua

2025/07/15

Why is it worth pursuing a Master’s degree in Physics at TU Darmstadt? And what makes studying here so special? Prof. Dr. Regine von Klitzing, head of the research group Soft Matter at Interfaces at the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics and Vice Dean of the Department of Physics, shares her insights in the latest episode of the English-language vodcast “Coffee Break with Sara”.

In conversation with #studentsofTUdarmstadt ambassador Sara Bevilacqua, Prof. von Klitzing offers both personal and academic insights: her favorite type of coffee, her go-to place for a coffee break on campus – and most importantly, what makes studying Physics at TU Darmstadt so rewarding.

Highlights for prospective Master’s students:
The international M.Sc. Physics offers a wide range of topics: from quantum optics and astrophysics to biophysics and soft matter – taught by three dedicated institutes.

In the English-language RMU programme Soft Matter and Materials, students explore current interdisciplinary research topics – supported by hands-on experience in excellent labs, internships, and “mini research” projects.

If you’re curious, open-minded, and ready to think outside the box, is just right at the Physics Department!
