SP characteristics
Surface and plasma physics is a master's degree program of interdisciplinary character that includes fundamental knowledge of interactions of neutral and charged particles in vacuum, gas and condensed phase and on the interfaces of these environments. The program provides expertise in surface physics and thin films, especially atomic and molecular nanostructures on solid surfaces with a significant link to physico-chemical and transport processes with applications in the field of catalysts, sensors or molecular electronics. The program in the field of laboratory and cosmic plasma physics covers the fields of plasma chemistry, hot and fusion plasma, and distinct topics in astrophysics. During the course of study, the use of modern diagnostic methods in material research, vacuum and plasma technologies and in the analysis of various kinds of space plasma or controlled thermonuclear fusion can be adopted. Individual disciplines can be oriented experimentally, theoretically, or solved by computer physics methods.

Graduate profile for the public:
Graduate of the study program Surface and Plasma Physics has a broad knowledge of the physical fundamentals of the field and understanding of the relevant mathematical apparatus including the ability to apply it. He can employ advanced diagnostic methods and computer models to understand both the behavior of atomic and molecular structures on solid surfaces and the associated application problems, as well as fundamental processes in ionized environments in the fields of astrophysics, plasma chemistry, and magnetohydrodynamics. The graduate is also able to independently formulate hypotheses, create computer simulations, and critically analyze outputs. He can present his knowledge and conclusions to the professional and general public in the form of presentations or written texts, including in a foreign language. Acquired knowledge, skills and creative abilities can be applied in related fields of both basic and applied research at universities, academia, science and technology centers (e.g. synchrotrons, ITER, ELI, ESA), as well as in the industry and public administration.
