OverviewThe MSc in Physics of Condensed Matter and Materials at Charles University focuses on how matter behaves at the microscopic level and how these properties can be engineered for modern technologies. You will study condensed systems using both theoretical foundations and experimental methods, with the option to follow a specialist track.What you will learnBuild a strong grounding in quantum theory, thermodynamics, and statistical physics for condensed systems.Understand how atomic and electronic structure determines mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties.Learn core experimental approaches used to characterize structure, composition, and properties (e.g., diffraction, spectroscopy, and microscopy).Develop research-oriented skills relevant to academic and applied laboratories in physics, materials science, and related fields.
