The main aim of the specialization Theoretical Physics is to provide comprehensive
knowledge about theoretical physics and to prepare the student to carry out further study
or research in this field. Additionally, students taught in English will gain knowledge of
English physics terminology and skills in using this language. The practical use of English
will be particularly pronounced during classes and seminars. Preparation and defense of
the master’s thesis in English will be a practical verification of the acquired language skills.
Students of the specialization Theoretical Physics will graduate with a Master's degree
in physics. They will have a broad and comprehensive knowledge of theoretical
physics, proficiency in using highly sophisticated mathematical and computer
methods, including numerical simulations. The students will be able to prepare a
master's thesis on classical subjects, like condensed matter theory, field theory, particle
physics, astrophysics or in more contemporary areas like nanophysics and quantum
information. Another advantage of graduates will be their advanced knowledge of
English, which will facilitate reading specialist literature, writing scientific articles and
preparing conference talks. It will increase a student's chances to continue study at
foreign universities or to have a career in areas not connected to physics.
