Characteristics of the field

Theoretical physics is a branch of physics that uses mathematical models and abstractions to explaining and anticipating the most complex natural phenomena (from quantum phenomena to phenomena associated with black holes). Results and theories from theoretical physicists are applied in most branches of physics - from astrophysics and cosmology, through atomic physics to the physics of condensed matter. No wonder that theoretical physics is linked to names like Albert Einstein, James Clerk Maxwell, Erwin Schrödinger, or Stephen Hawking.

Undergraduate studies

Theoretical physics can not be separately studied already in undergraduate studies, but only later, during graduate studies. Theoretical physics is among the most remarkable fields of physics, but it is a very demanding field, for which precise basics of general physics and excellent mathematical skills are necessity for its completion. Therefore, we recommend students to log on first undergraduate degree course in physics, which provides the aforementioned basis, and then continue in the master study of theoretical physics.

Graduate studies - Master's degree

The aim of the graduate studies of Theoretical Physics is to enhance physics education of the most talented graduates of the bachelor's program and expand their ability into the creative use of advanced methods of mathematics and mathematical physics. Graduated in the direction of Theoretical Physics gives a solid foundation in quantum mechanics, quantum optics, charged particle optics, modern string theory and quantum gravity theory on which students can successfully build on their thesis. The Department of Theoretical Physics offers a wide range of topics, on which students can work during their master's degree (visit the section About us). After completing the master's program graduates are well prepared for academic work, not only here but also abroad.

Graduate studies - Ph.D. degree

The doctoral program is intended for graduates of master's degree of physics. The study is focused on several key topics in theoretical physics, like supersymmetry and its implications for string theory and supergravity, string field theory, Berkovich superstring theory, Hořava-Lifshitz gravity, massive gravity theory, loop quantum gravity, quantum field theory, topological field theory, low energy electron diffraction, optical properties of solids, modulation spectroscopy, optics of invisible cloaks or multimode optical fibers.

Graduated students have a deep knowledge of theoretical physics, which allow them to independently and creatively approach to solving difficult problems in theoretical physics from the formulation and solution using the appropriate mathematical tools to interpretive conclusions and present them before the scientific community.
