The studies at the Department of Physics are organised at all levels of university education:

Bachelor of Science Degrees

Professional Studies

Integrated Studies

Master of Science Degrees

PhD Degrees

Academic education of physicists opens up a wide range of opportunities in their profession, such as working in scientific and development institutes, R&D departments in many companies, quality control, aviation, medical industry, and in all the companies which require measuring and the development of measuring methods, astronomy observatories, planetariums, hospitals, schools, banks, meteorological observatories, environmental protection institutes, in public administration, and generally in all the segments of contemporary industry.

Optometrists can find employment in private practice, eye clinics, and optical industry in general. Upon completion of their studies, the students may start up their own business in the field of eye optics and opticians’ shops and they also gained knowledge necessary for organisation of business operations, marketing, finances and economics, legal affairs and organisation, as well as in implementing measures of occupational health and safety and environmental protection related to their business activity in accordance with the valid legislation of the Republic of Serbia.
