The roots of the higher education tradition in the field of hard sciences, including mathematics and physics, go back centuries.
Physics means "nature" in Greek language also because it deciphers the mysteries of this world, from quarks to the stars, it remains the queen of sciences. The Faculty of Physics proposes to open up a new perspective on the role of physics and of a physicist in our current world.
The Faculty of Physics offers undergraduate programmes of 3 years in the following specialisations: Physics, Medical Physics, Computational Physics, and of 4 years in Technological Physics.
After obtaining an undergraduate degree students can opt for one of the master's specialisations of the faculty, of two years, in the following fields: Solid Body Physics, Biophysics and Medical Physics, Computational Physics
