Knowledge:
1. demonstrate advanced or expanded knowledge in certain areas of physics, in line with the selected specialisation topic under AMSPP. For example: atomic, molecular and optical physics, solid-state and material physics, physics of continuous media, technology physics, theoretical physics, etc.;
2. demonstrate interdisciplinary knowledge that complements knowledge in the sub-disciplines of physics. For example: biophotonics, medical physics, nanostructure physics, chemical physics, atmospheric and/or environmental physics and other interdisciplinary fields.

Skills:
3. use mathematical description for explaining and analysing physical processes, formulating physical problems, choosing adequate approximation and solution methodologies;
4. plan and carry out experiments or calculations in one of the fields of physics, obtain data independently, evaluate errors in measurements and calculations;
5. analyse results by comparing them with theoretical models, numerical simulations and available experimental data.

Competences:
6. at a qualitative level, be aware of current developments in physics and demonstrate an understanding of the highest standards of physical science in their field of specialisation; summarise research results in the form of a scientific publication (e.g. a Master's thesis) based on knowledge of the current state of at least one sub-field of physics and be able to integrate knowledge from different fields as appropriate;
7. sees essential details on the subject, manipulate precise and complex ideas, use logical arguments and correct terms in communication on the subject of physics with professionals and non-specialists;
8. by conducting independent research with a high degree of autonomy within the framework of the master's thesis, demonstrates competence in information gathering and analysis, obtaining information from journal articles, databases and communications with colleagues, sorting it according to relevance;
9. is aware that falsification and plagiarism of data are contrary to academic integrity, is objective and honest in his/her actions, recognises the limits of his/her knowledge, understands and is aware of the ethical responsibility for the potential impact of the results of his/her actions on the environment and society.
