The Department of Physics provides the core course in Physics within the Bachelor's and Master's study programme. The course includes the fundamentals of Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics, Waves, Optics and Atomic Physics. Furthermore, the Department is responsible for the education in disciplines of advanced physics following the basic course. These are: Experimental Physics, Classical and Quantum Theoretical Physics, Nuclear Physics, Elementary Particle Physics, Plasma Physics, and other specialised lectures according to the demand of other Departments. Skills and knowledge gained in Physics in the core courses is essential for further study in specialised departments, where students are trained in the specialisation of their choice.
The Department is training students within four Bachelor's and Master's study programmes. Programmes include: Mathematical Physics, Nuclear and Particle Physics, Physics and Technology of Thermonuclear Fusion and Quantum Technologies. All Bachelor's programmes are followed by Master's study programme.
