The Institute offers a four year PhD degree programme to graduates of chemical, physical and biological departments of universities, to graduates of medical universities and to engineers in chemical technology and material science. The main areas of the studies are:

Radiation chemistry and biochemistry
chemistry of radioelements
isotopic effects
radiopharmaceutical chemistry
analytical chemistry
nuclear methods applied in research material, for the purposes of medicine for environmental protection and preservation of monuments
chemistry of radicals

The PhD studies last four years and ends with the defence of doctoral thesis. During the study for a doctorate are employed on a part-time basis and receive scholarship sources. Most of the students expand their knowledge during short or long training in numerous renown research centres.

The Henryk Niewodniczański Institute of Nuclear Physics, Cracov

The Institute carries out basic and applied research in physics, with emphasis on nuclear physics. This research is aimed at explaining the structure of matter from microscopic to cosmic scales, through experiments and/or application of theoretical methods. Their activity extends into interdisciplinary research in a range of related fields and also stimulates technology transfer to the industry and to spin-off companies.

The Institute offers the PhD Programme in Applied Physics:

Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion

The Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion was founded on the 1st January of 1976. Since June, 2001 it has carried its activities under the authority of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Poland while the research program has been under surveillance and financing of Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Poland. The research carried out at the IPPLM mainly includes scientific and technological efforts to use and control thermonuclear fusion power to provide in future a safe energy for the humankind and the environment. The research conducted at the IPPLM is consulted with the Polish National Atomic Energy Agency.
