Professional title awarded: Master of Science.

The Master’s program in Nanophysics and Advanced Optics aims to equip students with advanced knowledge and practical skills essential for working in modern research and industrial laboratories.

The field of nanophysics encompasses the study and application of materials and processes at the nanoscale, which plays a crucial role in emerging areas such as nanotechnology, electronics, biophysics, and medicine. On the other hand, advanced optics covers both theoretical and practical aspects of imaging technologies and information transmission. The growing significance of these fields in electronics, medicine, biotechnology, and optoelectronics has created a demand for specialists with both strong theoretical foundations and hands-on experience.

The program is designed to prepare graduates for research and development (R&D) careers, with a strong focus on developing the following competencies:

1. A deep understanding of advanced theoretical concepts in nanophysics and optics.
2. The ability to conduct experimental research in state-of-the-art laboratories equipped with nanomaterial manipulation and analysis tools.
3. The development of new materials and optical technologies, including photonics and quantum optics.
4. The ability to work in interdisciplinary research and development teams.
5. Strong communication and project management skills in scientific and industrial settings.

Graduates of Nanophysics and Advanced Optics will find employment opportunities in R&D laboratories, technology centers, the optical industry, electronics, the medical sector, and research institutions specializing in nanotechnology. They are also in demand at universities and organizations focused on the development of new technologies.

This Master’s program responds to the increasing demand for specialists in nanophysics and advanced optics. Graduates will acquire both comprehensive theoretical expertise and practical skills, enabling them to pursue careers in cutting-edge technological sectors and scientific research.
