Nuclear and Particle Physics

About the programme

The Nuclear and Particle Physics master's programme focuses on the structure of matter and the fundamental interactions in the microworld. The programme combines advanced quantum theory, detection methods, and data analysis. Students can specialize in theory, experiments, or accelerator technology. They also take part in research at Czech and foreign research institutions (for example, CERN, Brookhaven National Laboratory, GSI Darmstadt, Pierre Auger Observatory).

programme content

Students will attend core courses focused on:

  • detection systems,
  • quantum physics,
  • particle accelerators physics.

career prospects

Graduates have extensive knowledge in nuclear and particle physics, which they can apply in practice. They can pursue careers in science, industry, medical physics, technology development, or computational modelling.
