about the programme
The study programme focuses on modern technical and scientific applications of nuclear physics and related fields. Teaching covers topics ranging from nuclear safety and methods of radiation measurement to the use of radioactive substances in industry, research, and medicine. An important part of the programme consists of practical projects, laboratory work, and opportunities to participate in research, including Master’s theses on current topics. Specialized laboratories, including a nuclear reactor and modern computational tools for nuclear engineering, are used in teaching.
The programme offers two specializations:
Applied Physics of Ionizing Radiation
focused on advanced techniques for monitoring radioactive substances, individuals, and the environment in ionizing radiation fields, methods of microdosimetry, and computational methods for modelling the transport of ionizing radiation in matter
Focused on theoretical and experimental study of physical phenomena in nuclear reactors, nuclear fuel cycle, nuclear facility safety, advanced nuclear technologies, nuclear technology devices, and neutron applications
Programme content
Students will attend core courses focused on:
- numerical processing and modelling of processes in medicine,
- nuclear reactor physics and thermohydraulics
- nuclear safety.
career prospects
Graduates find employment in research institutions, nuclear power plants, state administration, or industrial enterprises as developers, analysts, inspectors, or team leaders. They can also pursue careers in areas such as radioecology, radiation protection, neutron applications, or the development of nuclear technologies.
