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. A 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 all over the 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.
