Study programs
According to Bologna process in order to compare our curricula for bachelor’s and master’s level with similar curricula used in other EU countries, we present them described also in ECTS-credit points.
The credits points (cp) in the Faculty of physics for one semester are 30 and in this way the Bachelor’s Degree is equivalent of 8x30=240cp.
