Overview

The graduate of the Physics of Condensed Matter and Acoustics study programme at Comenius University Bratislava has a broad overview and at the same time is capable of a deep and accurate analysis.

Moreover he is flexible because he is constantly forced to acquire new knowledge and further elaborate on it. The high level and timeliness of the scientific work in which doctoral students are involved is also proved by several recent articles published in journals listed in the Nature Index.

Career opportunities

Condensed matter physics is the basis of many key advanced technologies in today's industry (electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, construction, etc.) and can be expected not only to maintain but further strengthen this position in the future. 3rd degree education in this field in the Slovak Republic is currently provided only by FMFI UK and UPJŠ in Košice. The presented field of study of dFKA is therefore unique and the demand for its graduates will most likely further increase in the future.
