AbstractStudents conduct a small research project within a research group or carry out a guided self-study of original papers on a given theoretical topic. The results are submitted in a written report and an oral presentation.
Learning objectiveStudents are enabled to:
• expand their knowledge in a specific area of physics,
• conduct a project (a) in a research laboratory or (b) on a specific topic of theoretical physics,
• discuss their project results and conclusions in a team,
• present their findings in written and oral form.

AbstractThe Master's thesis is normally conducted in the fourth semester and concludes the degree programme. With the Master's thesis students verify their ability to undertake independent and scientifically structured work in the area of high energy physics.
Learning objectiveStudents are enabled to:
- solve a complex problem by applying theoretical and experimental methods and skills,
- articulate their beliefs and thoughts on a scientific subject, appreciate the positions of others and revisit their own positions based on new insights,
- contribute constructively to the projects of a diverse research team,
- actively participate in a scientific discourse on a specific area of physics and present positions based on scientific arguments.
Prerequisites / NoticeThe time limit for completing the Master's thesis is six months.
