The student body is the central group of the Faculty of Physics.
Physics is a complex science and learning it well is not a simple task. The Faculty offers its students the widest choice of training programmes and majoring opportunities. There are counsellors to assist junior students in their studies and research work, while senior students are assisted by their Scientific Advisor. The academic training results in presenting and defending the graduate thesis which usually represents a complete research work.
Currently there are about 40 general courses and over 650 specialized courses delivered covering a wide range of traditional and new areas of physics research.
The number of students participating in research scientific projects grows annually. About one third of presentations and journal articles for the past five years has been prepared jointly by the professors and students.

Brief description of the training

From the first year students can be trained under two programs physics or astronomy.
During the first five terms the students get general training in physics, mathematics and other subjects. of Astronomy students also take general courses within their specialization.
There is a specific education system in place at the Faculty of Physics. It is a combination of fundamental theoretical and experimental training through the junior years with extensive specialization during senior years.
From the beginning of their study students start practical training in physics laboratories. There the students learn the principles of general physics and automatization of physics experiments. In computer classes students learn to operate modern computers and do mathematical processing of the problems studied experimentally in physics laboratories.
In the middle of the third year the students are distributed between the divisions and then along with the general courses, they begin to study specialized courses in their chosen fields of physics. At this stage they acquire both specialized knowledge and research skills, as they take part in research projects of their division and related research institutions, and participate in scientific seminars.
At the end of the fourth year students write and defend their graduation theses (course theses for specialists and diploma theses for undergraduate students). Specialists and post-graduate students defend the diploma theses at the end of their programs.
Ph.D. studies at the Faculty provide the training of specialists of the highest qualification. The individual academic program is prepared with the research advisor, taking into account the scientific interests of the post-graduate student. It is necessary to pass examinations in selected subjects including Russian language.
Independent research and original results must be included in the Dissertation, which is defended at one of the Scientific Councils of the Faculty.

Academic Programs:

Bachelor of Science in Physics Program - 4 years (requirements: high-school education).

Specialists with Diploma - 5.5 years (requirements: high-school education). After graduating from the program the Diploma of “Physicist” or “Astronomer” is given out.
