About the programme

The PhD study program Applied Physics is focused on the training of qualified staff, with advanced physical education, who can solve a wide range of problems on the border of scientific and technical practice. Students can choose their own specialization in the field of experimental physics and computer modeling and simulation. The areas of dissertations are profiled according to experimental laboratories, research groups and currently solved projects. In this way, experimental physics can focus on the narrower areas of deposition of functional nanostructures and active layers, low-temperature plasma physics, laser and nonlinear optics, or advanced audio signal processing. Computer modeling groups focus on simulations of interactions between molecules and surfaces using molecular dynamics, processes in solar physics using magnetohydrodynamic equations, simulations of models in solid continuum mechanics using the finite element method or advanced modeling of charge motion in material structures. The student can choose a specific specialization and supervisor based on their own discretion, scientific interest.

Programme structure

The doctoral program Applied Physics has a standard period of 4 years. Students must fulfil all obligations and duties given by university regulations for Ph.D. students. These are namely:
a) completion of selected Ph.D. courses and subjects,
a1) mandatory courses, which represent a duty for all doctoral students SCI USB
a2) elective courses, from which student has to select at least three subjects regarding his/her scientific profile and focus of the Ph.D. topic (courses are completed by the exam)
a3) additional courses, voluntary courses or courses recommended by the admission board (courses are completed by the exam)

b) final state examination, which passing is recommended in the third year of study and is divided into three sections:
b1) part devoted to Ph.D. topic - the student will present the profile of his/her Ph.D. thesis in a short presentation reporting first achievements (max. 10 min.), discussion follows,
b2) theoretical background in the field/topic of Ph.D. - the student proofs deep, theoretical knowledge in a narrow spectrum of his/her scientific interest, (somewhat corresponds with elective courses),
b3) broader theoretical aspects - the student demonstrates his/her survey in the field of applied physics and the ability to synthesize gained knowledge,

c) defence of the Ph.D. thesis, the student demonstrates the ability of independent scientific and research activities (summary of scientific achievements).
