General Information

Physics for Business is a novel, 3-year bachelor programme directed towards candidates interested in science who, besides obtaining traditional university education, are interested in developing their practical skills. Acquiring a unique set of skills and knowledge is possible owing to a synergy between a classical physics course paired with practical classes conducted by business and technology representatives. Scientists of international class deliver a set of knowledge and skills needed to explain the natural phenomena while specialists from IT, new technologies industry and business allow developing practical knowledge first-hand. This mixture of basic scientific knowledge and practice results in an uncommon set of competence and experience that will be of enormous advantage in the job market.

New content, new form

Physics for business utilizes the newest teaching methods. The programme comprises workshop classes to a significant extent, which allow larger flexibility in knowledge transfer and stimulate development of creative thinking and analytical skills. Another important element of the curriculum are classes co-created with partners from various economic sectors, including problem-interpreting meetings frequented by external experts. To answer the demands of modern economy, courses are oriented towards solving practical questions form the areas of physics, mathematics, computer science and automatics.

Most importantly, the curriculum includes:

  • basics of physics and mathematics
  • basics of computer science
  • practical laboratory classes
  • lectures and classes conducted by business and industry representatives
  • internship possibilities with our industry and business partners
  • option to complete a bachelor thesis in a company

The Physics for Business programme can be completed in two options: laboratory or data analysis. The laboratory track consists of electronics and programming courses, computer-assisted design, as well as modern measuring systems. The data analysis track focuses more on mathematical basics of data analysis, numerical methods, databases, machine learning and deep learning.

Alumni qualifications

The modern job market on one hand demands practical skills that are often less focused on in the course of university education. On the other hand, employers expect a wide theoretical background that is often deficient in the technical education due to their specification. Our curriculum answers both these demands by uniting excellent scientific personnel, world-class research facilities and close partnership with business and industry. What is more, the course provides the additional advantage of analytical and unconventional thinking that is traditionally developed during physics studies.

Cooperation with economic environment

We invited representatives of business and industry companies of various sizes, including world-class industry giants, to co-create Physics for Business. The list of our partners is growing every year, including so far:

  • ABB Corporation
  • Inglot
  • MeasLine
  • Nokia
  • Pratt & Whitney
