Study aims

The basic aim of the field of Applied Physics is to educate qualified specialists who can apply modern physics theories and experimental methods to solve professional problems in the areas specified above. The study of the program is based on the individual study plan; it assumes cooperation in the R&D activities of the department and is completed by the doctoral dissertation, which is to prove the ability to extend the knowledge acquired in the studied program creatively.

Graduate's knowledge

The graduate is expected to have a deep theoretical knowledge of physical theories and methods, the ability to systematically assess the phenomena under investigation, and creatively use his / her conceptual and analytical capabilities and contemporary modern physical methods to solve real programs.

Graduate's skills

Graduates of the Doctoral Program of Applied Physics can actively communicate with practitioners, and create and use advanced new techniques and methods in the applied fields of applied physics, which allow the dissemination of knowledge in these areas by original research. It can develop new theories and methods including the definition of the fields or their inclusion in a broader context.

Graduate's general competence

A graduate of a doctoral study can understand the interrelationships of science and technology disciplines that are part of the field of study. During his / her studies he/she will gain a high motivation and professional approach through systematic active participation in solving various projects, and practical problems and familiarization with new knowledge of physical theory. He can comprehensibly and convincingly communicate his / her knowledge in the field to other members of the scientific community at the international level and to the general public at least in one foreign language.

Hard skills

• English language at a technical level
• Modelling of physical problems of practice
• Design of measurement methods
• Processing and evaluation of experimental data
