Specializations (specialization selection during recruitment): 

• Nuclear Safety and Radiological Protection *
• Nanotechnology 

 * after approval by the Study Curriculum Determination Council

 Professional title awarded:  Bachelor of Physics.

 The aim of undergraduate studies in Physics is to provide students with general knowledge in the field of physics based on solid foundations in mathematical and natural sciences, as well as knowledge in the chosen specialization. The studies develop skills in understanding and accurately describing physical phenomena, teach the use of modern measuring equipment and technical diagnostic systems. The studies shape skills in gathering, processing, and transmitting information in the field of natural sciences, especially physics and technology. A graduate of the Physics program is proficient in a foreign language at an intermediate-advanced level (B2 proficiency level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), and can also use technical foreign language. Therefore, special emphasis is placed on acquiring specialized language skills in the field of physics during the education process. Depending on the chosen specialization, graduates acquire skills desired for various professions. Students have the opportunity to receive scholarships under the Erasmus+ program. A graduate of the Physics program at the first cycle is prepared to continue their education in the second cycle in the field of Physics.

 Studies in the Nuclear Safety and Radiological Protection* specialization enable the acquisition of knowledge and skills in general physics, as well as professional knowledge and skills necessary for employment in the private and public sectors, related to supervising compliance with radiological protection requirements in units performing activities involving the use, production, processing, and handling of radioactive sources, production and commissioning of equipment containing such sources, and devices generating ionizing radiation. The first two semesters cover general education in the exact sciences. The study of specialization subjects begins in the 3rd semester. During classes in specialization subjects, students will receive theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for work as a radiological protection inspector. Emphasis will be placed on the practical aspects of the discussed issues, enabling students to gain the required practical experience in radiation exposure. A graduate of this specialization has skills that enable them to work in research institutions, industrial facilities, development centers, and facilities dealing with radioactive materials on a daily basis and/or conducting radiological monitoring. The studies also prepare for work in future nuclear facilities as personnel responsible for radiological supervision and operation of positions crucial for ensuring nuclear safety and radiological protection. Completion of the studies exempts from the need for additional training and allows for taking the state examination for Radiological Protection Inspector after prior approval by the President of the State Atomic Energy Agency. Graduates of this specialization may find employment in: 

• government agencies responsible for nuclear supervision;
• metallurgical and mining industries;
• research units using ionizing radiation;
• institutions dealing with dose control and calibration of dosimetric devices;
• institutions dealing with testing the tightness of radioactive sources;
• companies providing services in the preparation of shielding projects for isotopic, X-ray, and accelerator laboratories;
• companies providing services in supervising compliance with radiological protection principles for facilities operating in radiation exposure.

 The Nanotechnology specialization in the Physics program is designed to meet the interests of young people wishing to pursue an attractive career in the European market. The aim of this specialization is to educate graduates in the field of physics with professional knowledge in solid-state physics, modern materials on a nanometric scale (with industrial applications), and their structural, electronic, optical, and magnetic properties. The first-cycle full-time studies in Physics last for 3 years (6 semesters). Specialization classes begin in the 3rd semester of studies. They mainly cover topics related to the physical foundations of nanotechnology, nanostructure technology, and computational nanotechnology. In addition to lectures and seminars, students also participate in laboratory classes, where they familiarize themselves with methods of nanostructure fabrication and structural research.

  A graduate of the Nanotechnology specialization has skills in: 

• analyzing research problems related to nanomaterials;
• modern research methods of solid-state physics enabling the testing of modern nanomaterials;
• theoretical modeling of composite material structures and analysis of their physical properties;
• working in a team of specialists in research laboratories of industrial plants offering the use of modern technologies. 

Graduates of this specialization can find employment domestically and abroad in: 

• specialized industrial and research laboratories;
• emerging companies implementing innovative technologies;
• science and technology parks;
• advanced technology centers.

 Graduates of the Physics program can also find employment in: 

• research and scientific institutions,
• industries requiring knowledge in the exact sciences.

RECRUITMENT OF FOREIGNERS FOR FIRST-CYCLE STUDIES IN ENGLISH

Documents required upon application

When registering, a foreign candidate for first-cycle studies:

• fills in a personal questionnaire form,
• submits a scanned copy of their Polish high school diploma or its foreign equivalent, along with a translation into Polish done by a sworn translator, bearing an apostille or subjected to legalization, and an additional translation into Polish by a sworn translator (Education tab),
• provides an electronic photo in .jpg format (photo compliant with the requirements for issuing personal identification documents),
• submits a scanned document confirming their English language proficiency at a minimum B2 level (Education tab - Certificates and other documents required for enrollment).

If the candidate does not possess a language proficiency document in the language of instruction, they may request a language proficiency verification. To do so, the candidate must submit the application by the deadline of - 16.09.2024. The application should be filled out, signed, scanned, and then sent through the IRK system using the Help tab. The subject of the message should be: "Application for language proficiency verification" - Application to download

•  specifies the foreigner status in Poland and provides a scanned copy of the relevant document (e.g., valid Polish Card, supplementary protection status - UKR, permanent residence permit) (Foreign Candidate tab),
• enrols in the chosen undergraduate program by submitting their recruitment application (Recruitment Applications tab),
• makes the required recruitment payment to an individual account within the specified deadline according to the recruitment schedule,

• Power of attorney for deliveries –  Document to be downloaded under Recruitment applications - ‘Documents and next steps’

According to Article 40 § 4 of the Administrative Procedure Code of 14 June 1960, "A party who does not have a place of residence or habitual residence or a registered office in the Republic of Poland, another European Union Member State, the Swiss Confederation, or a European Free Trade Association (EFTA) state - a party to the agreement on the European Economic Area, if they have not appointed a representative for conducting the case residing in the Republic of Poland and are not acting through a consul of the Republic of Poland, is obliged to indicate a representative for deliveries in the Republic of Poland."

• Insurance: All foreign students must have valid insurance for at least the first year of study in Poland, covering medical expenses up to EUR 30,000. The insurance policy, agreement, or certificate from the National Health Fund or European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) serves as proof of insurance.
