Master's in Physics

Adam Mickiewicz University is a public university in Poznań, Poland. It was founded in 1919 and is named after the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz. The university has over 45,000 students and 6,000 staff members. It offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs in the fields of humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, medicine, and engineering. Adam Mickiewicz University is ranked #601-800 in the QS World University Rankings 2024. It is also a member of the European University Association.

The subject matter of the program is closely tied to Physics of New Materials which currently have been applied or have its potential application in energy generation, conversion, storage and saving. Classes offered are strictly connected to Physics (for instance, solid-state physics, thermodynamics, magnetism) but also combined Physics and Chemistry (for instance: photovoltaics, solar energy, soft matter, crystallography), Physics and Biology (for instance: artificial photosynthesis, bionanostructures) and Physics and Nanomaterial Engineering (for instance: conducting nanostructures, one- and two-dimensional materials). Additionally, they participate in specialized courses exploring the advanced modern material characterization techniques (for instance: electron and atomic force microscopy, optical spectroscopy, X-ray spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, time-resolved laser spectroscopy, neutron scattering), material fabrication (for instance, lithography, thin film deposition, chemical methods) and theoretical computation or computer simulation methods applied in materials physics.
