Programme description and devices.
In response to the growing need to keep pace with the rap-
id development of new technologies, we aim to educate fu-
ture experts able to solve fundamental issues in the area of
new types of electronic devices as well as alternative energy
sources. Being fully aware that most of attractive new tech-
nologies are based on a combination of innovations in na-
notechnology, photonics and organic electronics supported
by modern calculation methods and analytical techniques,
including synchrotron-based ones, we offer a four-semester
study programme Advanced Materials and Nanotechnolo-
gy (AMN), which includes all of the abovementioned issues.
The programme will be taught in English, which means it
will be suited for both Polish and international students.
The second-cycle AMN programme will enable students to
gain interdisciplinary knowledge and skills in the field of ad-
vanced materials and nanotechnology based on the courses

on the basics of physics, chemistry and material engineering
they attended during the first-cycle studies. Throughout
all four semesters, many classes will take the form of lab-
oratory work in highly specialised environment. Students
will write theses on subjects directly related to the work of
their research teams. This approach to teaching on an inno-
vative and interdisciplinary programme is consistent with
