Doctoral Studies

The Department of Physics conducts postgraduate education within a number of subject areas including astronomy and astrophysics, theoretical physics, atomic and molecular physics, biological physics and complex systems, and fused matter physics.


PhD in physics

To be admitted to the doctoral program, you must have completed a basic university degree that corresponds to at least a master's degree or a master's degree in engineering with a specialization in physics. Students with an equivalent foreign undergraduate degree must also have passed an approved language test in English. As a benchmark, at least 550 points apply to the TOEFL test.
