2 Optics Degree Programs in Czech Republic

The students of the branch of study will have acquired comprehensive knowledge and skills required for conducting independent research and other scientific activities in quantum optics and optoelectronics. In accord with individual study plans students concentrate on the topic of their thesis. They can find employment in both fundamental and applied research at universities, research institutes, and industry. The progress in the application of optics in numerous research areas (physics, biology, chemistry, medicine, communications, and robotics) leads to an increase in the range of employment possibilities.

Particle physics (high-energy, subnuclear physics) investigates the structure of matter on the level of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions. Nuclear physics studies the structure of atomic nuclei and more generally the behavior of finite quantum systems of mutually interacting particles. The study is based on comprehensive courses of theoretical and experimental particle and nuclear physics, based on extensive courses of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. The emphasis is put on mastering the relevant computational techniques and managing the methods of acquisition and evaluation of experimental data, including efficient use of computing and advanced software tools. With the aid of optional courses and the Master thesis project, the students gain deep knowledge in a selected area and choose orientation to theory or experiment.
