Nuclear and Physical Engineering

Graduates of Nuclear and Physical Engineering gain strong knowledge of mathematics, physics and electrical engineering, plus theoretical and methodological foundations in informatics, computer architecture, operating and logic systems, algorithm design and programming. They become familiar with data acquisition, measurement, processing and use in diagnostics or calculations.

The programme will enable students to:

• become familiar with the fundamental physical principles underpinning measurement and diagnostic methods for new innovative materials;
• gain in-depth knowledge of different types of radiation and methods for detecting them;
• conduct research into living organisms, exploring the potential use of bioelectronic systems in technical fields;
• study issues related to nuclear energy, nuclear physics and associated technologies;
• visit workplaces in Slovakia and abroad, as well as international research centres, gaining practical experience for their future profession.

• Safety in Electrical Engineering.
• Mathematics.
• Physical Education.
• Introduction to engineering.
• Fundamentals of Computer Technology.
• Introduction to physics.
• English language.
• Electrical Engineering
• Physics.

Nuclear and Physical Engineering graduates learn physical processes and methods for analysing and modifying materials, including their mechanical, thermal, electrical, magnetic and optical properties. They gain in-depth knowledge of processes in different materials, diagnostic methods and practical applications. A second branch focuses on nuclear energy, with detailed study of safe nuclear power plant design, operation and decommissioning. Modern ICT methods are integrated into study, within current economic, legislative, social and ethical contexts.

Graduate Career Opportunities
Graduates of the engineering programme in Nuclear and Physical Engineering have broad opportunities in electrical engineering, with particular expertise in nuclear facility operation and decommissioning and materials science. They can work as members or leaders of creative teams wherever knowledge of diagnostic methodologies for analysing materials and processes is needed. Public- and private-sector industrial and service roles include designer, design engineer, operations engineer and managers at different levels. Opportunities also include development and technology roles in advanced materials, electrical technologies, healthcare, the environment and nuclear energy.

A certificate of Slovak proficiency at B1 level is required
