About the programme
The Physical Engineering bachelor's study programme combines physics with mathematics and computer science. Students then use a combination of theory, practical exercises, and work with computer technology to solve problems in various fields of science and technology. They gain a strong foundation in, for example, mechanics, electricity and magnetism, optics, theoretical and experimental physics, mathematical analysis and programming.
The faculty offers five specializations that students can choose according to their preferences, ranging from materials to lasers to plasma:
Plasma Physics and Thermonuclear Fusion
Focuses on applications of plasma physics, plasma technology development, thermonuclear fusion reactors, ecology, and studying plasma states of matter in space.
Physical Engineering of Materials
Focuses on studying properties of solid state matter, observing matter under stress, in temperature or environmental changes, and developing new materials and their uses in industry practice
Solid State Engineering
Focuses on analysing structures and properties of solid state matter and their relation to electrical, magnetic, or optical aspects
Laser Technology and Photonics
Focuses on studying laser, optical and photonic phenomena and equipment and their uses in practice
Computer Physics
Focuses on studying physics in combination with modern informatics, computer simulations, experiment modelling, and numerical methods and algorithms
programme content
Students will attend core courses focused on:
- basic laser technique laboratory,
- computer algebra systems,
- electron microscopy,
- principles of plasma physics,
- structure of solid state.
career prospects
Graduates find employment in technical fields, laboratories, and in the development of new technologies. They work in areas such as materials research, lasers and photonics, plasma applications, computational modelling, and product certification. They are skilled in working with modern measurement methods as well as advanced computational technologies. Graduates can also pursue careers in the aviation, automotive, or semiconductor industries, in companies specialising in photonics, photovoltaics, laser and plasma technologies, as well as in telecommunications or medicine.
