Teaching
The department trains specialists in physical engineering, specifically in solid-state engineering. The programme combines a theoretical foundation in mathematics and physics with experimentally and engineering-oriented courses.
Students are introduced to the most important achievements of modern theoretical and experimental condensed matter physics, applied optics, nuclear physics, and electronics. During the Master’s programmes, this foundation is further deepened with knowledge from the quantum theory of solids and physical systems, including superconductors and their theories, low-temperature physics, dielectric and semiconductor physics, surface and thin-film physics, as well as the fundamentals of describing and analysing polymer materials, biological structures, and smart materials.
Attention is also devoted to, for example, semiconductor technologies and analysis, the development of optical fibre sensors and specialised photonic materials, applications of dielectric crystals, the use of advanced diffraction techniques in materials testing, the utilisation of databases containing information on materials research, and mathematical modelling of structures, properties, physical phenomena, and technological processes.

Doctoral studies
Science and research
The department’s scientific and research activities are concentrated in specialised research facilities – laboratories.The laboratories address both topics of fundamental research and issues of applied science. Teaching across all study programmes is closely interconnected with research projects carried out in the department’s laboratories, conducted in collaboration with domestic and international research and educational institutions.
