Optics and Optoelectronics

The study offers broad and deep training in physics, mathematics, and optics and its goal is to equip graduates with an independent and creative approach to both theoretical and experimental work in optics and optoelectronics. Students receive training in the fields of geometrical, wave, quantum and statistical optics and in the areas of modern optoelectronics systems and may further specialise in quantum and non-linear optics, physics of lasers, optical information processing, optoelectronics, and optical systems and devices. The graduates may find jobs in various industries in the area of production, research and development.

General Physics and Mathematical Physics

The study provides broad mathematical and physical background and focuses on training specialists with independent and creative approach to both theoretical and experimental work in physics. At the undergraduate level, the study comprises courses on mechanics and acoustics, electricity and magnetism, molecular physics and thermodynamics, theoretical mechanics, atomic and nuclear physics, electromagnetic field theory, quantum physics, thermodynamics and statistical physics, theory of relativity. This is accompanied by a complete course on mathematics for physicists. The students are led to creative work with an emphasis put on the use of computers and modern information technology. The curriculum provides general mathematical and physical background for the follow-up master study in the field which provides rigorous training in advanced physical disciplines such as quantum field theory, general theory of relativity, quantum information theory, plasma physics, and astrophysics. During their work on diploma theses, graduate students become fully integrated members of research teams at the Department.

Digital and Instrumental Optics

The study prepares specialists qualified in modern classical optics and optoelectronics. Particular attention is focused on the adaptability of graduates and on their ability to implement their skills to the solution of practical tasks in industry. They are trained for research work and for qualified technical activities in the fields of design of optical and optoelectronic systems, application of optical methods in metrology and medicine, computer-aided design and optical and mechanical technology. Besides a good knowledge of mathematics and physics, the graduate obtains a deep insight into the computer technology, electronics and microelectronics, optics and optoelectronics. Attention is also paid to their ability to communicate in English. The students are also trained to be able to adapt in the fields of computer science, electronics, microelectronics and audio-visual optical systems.

Optometry

This study is a professionally-oriented training that is based on an recommended syllabus of the Association of European Schools of Optometry and on the requirements of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic for an optometrist. The study comprises basic courses in mathematics and physics, general optics and courses related to the optics of spectacles - optical and spectacle technologies. It also covers selected subjects in medicine and biology including the necessary knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, ophthalmology and general fundamentals of health protection, providing first aid, and professional ethics.
