In the mandatory part of the programme, you will study general physics, modern physics, programming, experimental data processing, experiment management, astronomy and astrophysics, chemistry, biology. If you wish, you will be able to study electronics, nanoscience, elementary particle physics, higher mathematics, application of computer modelling and machine learning in physics, as well as history of physics. You will have a chance to apply the acquired knowledge through an internship in a company or a scientific institute, and you will conduct a study for your bachelor's thesis. You will gain international study experience by taking the opportunity to study part of the programme at partner universities in other European countries.

Students begin to work in the sphere of their specialisation from the first year of studies or within the internship courses and, at the end of their studies, all graduates have work experience in the field of physics. Bachelors of physics are employed by companies, institutes, public administration, schools and universities in Latvia and abroad, as well as form their own companies and startups. It is an interesting and dynamic work environment that provides opportunities for further development.
