SQF 8
EQF 7
Second level

The qualification holder will be able to:

(general competences)

  • demonstrate a capacity for abstraction and analysis of problems,
  • collect, critically assess and synthesise data, measurements and solutions,
  • identify the necessary data for the formulation of new knowledge,
  • formulate new knowledge on the basis of existing theories or available data,
  • apply knowledge in practice (particularly knowledge of modern technologies),
  • make interdisciplinary connections between scientific findings,
  • undertake autonomous professional work and work in an (international) group,
  • communicate and impart technical information to the general public,

(subject-specific competences)

  • demonstrate in-depth understanding of the physical laws of nature,
  • make connections between the basic laws of nature and observable characteristics of the world,
  • pose physical problems in a creative manner and analyse them,
  • formulate physical problems mathematically,
  • deduce the physical bases of practical problems,
  • model problems,
  • demonstrate mastery of advanced experimental skills in physics,
  • critically evaluate the results of measurements and apply these in the building or upgrading of models,
  • demonstrate understanding of the principles of operation of technological devices on the basis of basic laws,
  • present physical methods and results in a manner adapted to a target audience (in Slovene and a foreign language),
  • impart knowledge about physics.

Examination performance is scored as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).

In order to enrol in the second year, students must have completed two compulsory subjects in the stream in which they have enrolled and a total of at least 52 credits.

Third-cycle doctoral study programmes (SQF level 10)

In order to complete the programme, students must complete all course units, consisting of 60 credits per year (a total of 120 credits). Students complete the programme when they obtain a passing grade for their master's thesis defence.
