Second-cycle studies in physics last 2 years (4 semesters) and are designed to impart expanded knowledge of physics based on a thorough foundation of mathematical and natural sciences, as well as knowledge in the field of a selected specialization. They develop skills of reasoning and accurate description of physical phenomena, use of modern measurement apparatus and technical diagnostic systems. The studies shape the skills of gathering, processing and transferring information in the field of natural sciences, in particular physical and technical sciences. Graduates of this course are also prepared to take up third degree studies. Depending on the chosen specialization, graduates acquire skills desirable for various professions.
