Physics at Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa (UJD) is a three-year (6-semester) Bachelor's programme (first-cycle) with a general academic profile, taught in English and leading to the title of Bachelor of Physics. It is for people who want to understand and accurately describe physical phenomena – you choose your specialisation, radiological protection or nanotechnology, already during admission.

Programme: physics with measurement practice

The programme builds general knowledge of physics on solid foundations in mathematics and natural sciences. You learn to use modern measuring equipment and technical diagnostic systems and to gather, process and pass on information in physics and technology. The first two semesters cover general education in the exact sciences, and specialisation subjects begin in the 3rd semester.

Specialisation: radiological protection or nanotechnology

Nuclear Safety and Radiological Protection prepares you to supervise compliance with radiological protection requirements wherever radioactive sources and devices generating ionising radiation are used. Classes emphasise practice and give you the theoretical and practical knowledge needed to work as a radiological protection inspector, also in future nuclear facilities.

Nanotechnology covers solid-state physics and nanoscale materials with their structural, electronic, optical and magnetic properties, the physical foundations of nanotechnology, nanostructure technology and computational nanotechnology. Besides lectures and seminars, you take part in laboratory classes on nanostructure fabrication and structural research.

Languages: B2 and the language of physics

You graduate with a foreign language at B2 level, with special emphasis on the specialised and technical language used in physics.

Qualifications: towards radiological protection inspector

In the Nuclear Safety and Radiological Protection specialisation, completing the studies exempts you from additional training. After prior approval by the President of the State Atomic Energy Agency, you can take the state examination for Radiological Protection Inspector. The practical focus of classes lets you gain the required practical experience in radiation exposure.

After graduation: nuclear supervision, laboratories and research

You can continue with second-cycle studies in Physics or, depending on your specialisation, work in:

• agencies responsible for nuclear supervision and the metallurgical and mining industries,
• research units using ionising radiation and institutions dealing with dose control and calibration of dosimetric devices,
• specialised industrial and research laboratories, in Poland and abroad,
• companies implementing innovative technologies, science and technology parks and advanced technology centres,
• research institutions and industries that require knowledge of the exact sciences.
