Study Programs - Department of Engineering Physics

Mission of the Department of Physical Engineering

DIF is one of the basic units of FIMIF, UPT, and offers study programs organized in three consecutive study cycles:

Cycle	Program
First cycle (180 ECTS)	Bachelor in Engineering Physics
Second cycle (120 ECTS)	Master of Science in Engineering Physics, Medical Physics Profile Master of Science in Engineering Physics, Engineering Physics Profile
Third cycle	Doctorate in Engineering Physics

The Department of Physical Engineering focuses on the application of physical principles in engineering and technology. It aims to preserve and consolidate national academic and cultural values. Its activity is structured in such a way as to prepare qualified individuals who, by contributing in the field of teaching or in other fields, influence the economic development of the entire society. The department adheres to a well-defined strategy of teaching and scientific research. This is achieved by making all the human resources of the department available. The academic staff, in accordance with their fields of scientific research, develops a successful activity in accordance with the development directions of the institution itself.

Career opportunities

Students who complete their studies at DIF are employed in many fields of the economy such as:
