Course Profile
Physics of Advanced Materials for Energy Processing (PAMEP) program is conducted solely in the English language with emphasis on preparing its students for their future work as scientists or in science-related areas. 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. The goal of this program is to equip a student with technical expertise necessary for an academic career (postgraduate degree studies) or a career in private sector corporations which strictly rely on detailed knowledge of scientific research (for instance, companies involved in research, producing or servicing advanced measuring tools and companies interacting with both science and the industry).

Graduate competencies
Our students get familiarized not only with theories but also with experimental methods of materials research. 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

Education Requirements
Set of documents
• photo file which will be used when generating the personal questionnaire
• a scan of university diploma
• a document confirming knowledge of English at B2 level
Candidates with documents obtained abroad also provide:
• a scan of a foreign document, which is legalized or accompanied by an apostille, entitling the candidate to take up higher education studies in the country where the document was issued
• a scan of translation of the document into the language of the studies undertaken by the candidate, performed by a sworn translator entered into the list of sworn translators maintained by the Polish Minister of Justice, or certified by a Polish consul in the country where the document was issued
• a scan of the document recognizing the foreign certificate as equivalent to the Polish Matura certificate – in the case of candidates for first-cycle or long-cycle master's studies to whom this applies
• a scan of the document recognizing the foreign diploma as equivalent to the Polish diploma – in the case of candidates for second-cycle studies to whom this applies
• a scan of a document confirming the entitlement to study tuition-free – in the case of the foreigners concerned
