SP characteristics

The programme offers a training in theoretical physics, astronomy and astrophysics. The graduate acquires a wide range of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in solving difficult physical problems. A graduate of astronomy gains also experimental skills, all graduates manage a variety of numerical and computer methods. In addition to mathematical methods, graduates also get a physical intuition that is extremely important in scientific research and for the solution of unexpected technical obstacles and problems.

Graduate profile for the public:
The graduates in this programme will possess extensive knowledge of mathematics and theoretical physics or of astronomy and astrophysics, respectively, which is deepest in particular in areas related to their Ph.D. thesis. They will gain a precious experience with an original, creative research. The spectrum of their specializations is very broad. The graduates find research jobs at universities, institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and other scientific institutions both in the Czech Republic and abroad. The universality of their education and their mastery of computer techniques endow them with a considerable flexibility when solving particular problems so they realize themselves also in ‘practically’ oriented jobs requiring logical thinking and analysis of complex tasks.
