In mid-May, 2022, all applicants without a waiver receive an invitation to take the entrance examination from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. If the Faculty approves the waiver, the invitation ceases to apply.

Entrance examination

The entrance examination consists of two parts, subject and language one. The subject part of the entrance examination takes the form of a discussion about the chosen study programme. The committee gives the applicant three questions related to the chosen study programme. The committee judges the correctness of the answer, the knowledge of the field and overall readiness for doctoral studies. Each answer is evaluated on the binary Pass/Fail scale. The applicant must obtain three passing grades. If the applicant has chosen one of the thesis topics offered by the faculty and has obtained an approval of a future supervisor, or if the committee accepts the annotation of the applicant‘s own topic, the applicant will successfully pass the exam with only two passing grades from three questions.
The language entrance examination consists of a written test. The applicant may obtain a maximum of 100 points, the threshold for passing the exam is 50 points.

Podmínkou přijetí ke studiu v doktorském studijním programu je řádné ukončení studia v magisterském studijním programu.

Obor připravuje odborníky se širokým základem v matematice, fyzice a počítačovém modelování fyzikálních procesů a zároveň s hlubokými znalostmi z fyziky plazmatu. Studium zahrnuje i hraniční disciplíny jako je plazmo-chemie, interakce plazmatu s povrchem pevné látky a komplexní plazma. Absolvent ovládá teoretické i experimentální metody, které díky schopnosti abstraktního a tvořivého myšlení využívá i v jiných oborech zaměřených na základní a aplikovaný výzkum na vysokých školách, ve vědeckých ústavech a technologických centrech, ale také v průmyslové sféře.
