Institute of Physics
One of the main assets of the Institute of Physics is the
high quality of scientific research proven by numerous publications in renowned
international journals and monographs published for example by Springer-Verlag
of World Scientific. The high scientific and educational status of the
Institute has been achieved thanks to:
- Highly appreciated both nationally and
internationally research output
- Interdisciplinary research
- Scientific cooperation with renowned institutions
in Poland and abroad
- Study programmes adjusted to the needs of the
labour market
On the basis of various agreements with institutions from the whole world the Institute takes part in international exchanges of staff members and students. Students can also participate in the research conducted in the Institute. Visit: www.fizyka.uni.opole.pl/ang_struktura.html)
The institute has its own Observatory, which is used for research and educational observations.
