Learning outcomes
To use conceptual and specialized knowledge and understanding of current problems and achievements of selected areas of modern theoretical and experimental physics and/or astronomy to solve complex problems and practical problems. To conduct experimental and theoretical research in physics and astronomy, analyze the results in the context of existing theories, draw reasoned conclusions (including estimation of the degree of uncertainty), and make suggestions for further research. To carry out a phenomenological and theoretical description of the studied physical and/or astronomical phenomena, objects, and processes. Choose effective mathematical methods and information technologies and apply them to research and innovation in physics. Evaluate the novelty and reliability of scientific results in the chosen field of physics.
