Summary of the Profile
Objective(s) of a study programme:
The aim of the Applied Physics program is to train specialists with the ability to apply physics knowledge to understand and explain natural and technological processes, who have the practical ability to perform standard physics laboratory tests, to solve quantitative and qualitative physics tasks in industry or research, being able to present information to a specialist audience, who have the ability to work individually and in a team, to organize their work and schedule, and continually develop their professionalism and overall knowledge
Learning outcomes:
1. Be able to identify and use physical concepts, laws and theories from various domains of physics to model, analyze and explain physical phenomena and solve problems.
2. Be able to apply standard mathematical (analytical and numerical) tools and methods to solve problems in physics and related fields
3. Be able to design, set up and safely carry out experimental investigations, follow guidelines and protocols while using instrumentation.
4. Be able to apply basic methods, techniques and theories for data collection, analysis and reporting.
5. Be able to address critically problems from the point of view of physics, identifying the laws and concepts that apply in a specific situation.
6. Be able to devise and carry out a plan for finding a solution and checking its validity.
7. Be able to select and use sources of information on the current developments of physics; analyze relevant examples; in the analysis, critically account for physical principles, technical and technological issues. 8. Evaluate critically and reasonably science impact on solving societal and technological problems.
9. Be able to apply general ethical rules and rules of scientific conduct to the assigned tasks.
10. Be able to evaluate scientific material and present complex information in a concise, clear and reasoned manner orally and in writing.
11. Be able to identify and implement an appropriate strategy for solving a given problem.
12. Be able to organize and complete a project individually or in team.
13. Be able to organize own study and learning process, using different kinds of learning materials.
