Description of the Study Program
Environmental physics is an interdisciplinary field of physics being studied at many universities in the world, the importance of which is growing. Graduates of the doctoral studies in the field of Environmental Physics are ready to address environmental problems that arise at the intersection of various areas of physics (radiation Physics, Earth, water and the atmosphere, biophysics, condensed matter, chemical physics). They can also creatively apply acquired knowledge in practice and find application in various fields of science, research, industry and services in the public and private sectors.
Doctoral Scholarships
Full-time doctoral students who have permanent residency in the European Union are entitled to receive a scholarship for the entire standard duration of their studies. The scholarships are paid starting on the date of enrollment. The scholarship is determined in accordance with the tables included in the Law no. 553/2003 Z.z. as follows:
- prior to completion of the qualification exam: 1025,50 EUR (6th class, 1st level)
- after successful completion of the qualification exam: 1 194 EUR (7th class, 1st level)
Scholarships are not subject to taxes or other fees.
Doctoral studies are considered an equivalent to full time employment and in the majority of cases cannot be combined with another employment.
