Key Summary
The study within this program is based on teaching the theoretical and experimental aspects of nuclear or particle physics, supported by a detailed understanding of quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and phenomenology of nuclear and subnuclear processes. Particular emphasis is placed on mastering relevant theoretical computational methods and familiarization of the data acquisition and analysis, including effective control of information technology. Students should employ and develop these skills in their own scientific work, which is an important part of the doctoral program.
The program does not contain specializations.
Depending on the chosen specialization, a graduate has deep knowledge in modern particle or nuclear physics and is a qualified expert in the experimental or theoretical branches of these fields. He or she can find employment especially in basic research of academic institutions, partly in applied research. Graduates have experience working in or are ready to integrate into international scientific collaborations. A typical graduate of a given branch has a considerable degree of professional adaptability, especially thanks to the experience gained in teamwork and the use of modern technologies and tools.
