Course duration: 3 years

Degree Course Characteristics

The degree course is of interdisciplinary character, covering classical and modern sections of mathematics, physics, and informatics. It prepares students for jobs in physics, natural sciences and engineering and for use of modern computational methods. The degree course structure is based on core courses on mathematics, i.e. calculus; linear algebra; linear equations; differential equations; probability theory and statistics; and equations of mathematical physics and functions of complex variables. Physics courses cover introduction to mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermal physics, waves and optics, and theoretical and statistical physics. However, the core of the degree course is quantum physics. Apart from theory, students get practical hands-on training in physics labs, solids labs, laser labs, and linear optics labs and, moreover, in practicals. Part of the study is a bachelor project; elaborating on its topic, students acquire a detailed knowledge of their specialization. Competency in two foreign languages makes graduates eligible for participation in international or foreign projects.

Graduate´s Profile

Knowledge:
Graduates are versed in the core disciplines of mathematics, physics , and informatics, and even more specialized in quantum physics, and physics of solids and lasers , both theoretically and practically. They can directly continue their academic training in a continuation master degree course In the same or similar field.

Skills:
They are skilled in using various calculation methods and procedures of mathematics and physics to tackle - both theoretically and practically – engineering research and scientific issues of quantum theory, theory of solids, and physics and technology of lasers. They are skilled in modern computational methods and laboratory equipment, as well as in keeping up-to-date with the new trends of their respective field and in analysing problems and synthesizing the findings. As expected ,the newly acquired skills include the sense of responsibility for the work done and decisions made.

Competency:
Due to their analytical and systematic approach to solving problems and their skilled use of computational techniques, graduates are competent to assume posts adequate to BSc. in the system of education, research and industry. They are also eligible for more advanced degree courses, or they can participate in the development of modern technologies.
