Physics is one of the most crucial research area in modern science. Discoveries of new phenomena, deepening of knowledge about the structure of matter and related interactions and understanding the consequences of natural laws and scientific theories lead to changes in the world around us. Physics brings together advanced experiments, computations, and theoretical considerations to describe what is unknown. Experiments are carried out on highly sophisticated facilities/equipment, often as part of international collaborations. Developments in physics result in new technologies that are extensively used in a wide range of industries, including the health and environmental sectors. The computational aspects use machine learning and other advanced techniques in data science. Theoretical physics aims to predict physical systems' behavior and interpret the experimental results in terms of mathematical models of the physical world's structure and evolution. The Physics Master's degree program is closely related to the A. Chełkowski Institute of Physics' scientific activities. Students will participate in the Institute's activities, including regular seminars, colloquia, and workshops involving physicists worldwide. Students will also be involved in a research-level project as part of their dissertation. The study program and scientific research will be carried out at the Chorzow campus of the Silesian University and partly within the framework of activities based on cooperation between the Institute of Physics and many prestigious institutions worldwide. This program provides exposure to frontier physics activities and develops general transferable skills related to data analysis, research, and communication. The program leads to careers in research, teaching, and industry and develops very valued computing skills. The education in Physics at the second-degree level (2-year master's studies) is realized in English in two specializations: Fundamental and applied physics and Nanophysics and mesoscopic materials - modeling and application (Polish-French studies).
