Programming and Computational Physics Education in the Physics Curriculum at University of Göttingen — •Fabian Heidrich-Meisner — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen

Programming skills and expertise with computational physics are essential competences in the daily work of a physicist. Often, these skills are acquired on the flight, yet in view of qualification standards and evolving expectations from both students and prospective employers, graduates may benefit from standardized training elements in their physics education. Therefore, training in these skills are essential parts in the physics curriculum on the B.Sc. and M.Sc. level at the University of Göttingen. I will introduce our integrated approach, choice of programming languages, and the specific modules that are mandatory parts of our B.Sc. Physics programme. On the master's level, we offer a qualification direction in Theoretical Physics that encompasses a significant amount of training in Computational Physics. B.Sc. in Göttingen can also enroll in an Applied Computer Science track on the B.Sc. level and can specialize in Computational Physics.
