Study programme aims and objectives
To create an opportunity to acquire a basic Physics education shaping environmental awareness and integrating sciences, show more...
which enables further continuation of studies on master's level according to a Physics-based curriculum (Teacher of Physics, Physics etc);
To promote the formation of skills enabling working as a laboratory technician in schools, higher educational establishments or scientific research instiutions;
To promote the acquisition of an integrated and systemic worldview based on physics and science and the development of adequate analytical skills. Learning outcomes of the study programme
- understands the general and basic principles of physics together with their experimental and theoretical foundation show more...
- can apply the principles of physics and the methods of gaining knowledge in scientifically based explanation of environmental phenomena, as well as in qualitative and quantitative study of such phenomena
- is capable of critical analysis and evaluation of the physical aspects of the hypotheses presented in literature and the press and of assessing their correspondence with the scientific worldview
- is capable of pinpointing and solving (practically or theoretically) tasks related to his/her field in his specialty area and technology, choosing an appropriate theoretical or practical method or concept to deal with the tasks
- is capable of teamwork in solving a professional task, preparing and performing an experiment as well as in analysis and presentation of results
- can introduce his field of study, addressing audiences with different backgrounds and interests and treating the specifics of the field in a wider cultural context Graduation requirements
