The Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science (FPACS) is one of the fifteen Faculties of the AGH University of Science and Technology in Cracow. The origins of the Faculty are dated back to 1919, when the Academy of Mining was founded, within which the Chair of Physics was erected. It has undergone several organizational transformations until in 1991 the AGH Senate has decided to form the Faculty of Physics and Nuclear Techniques. In 2004 the name was changed to Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science, accordingly to the changes in the fields of scientific and educational activity.

Scientific activity of the Faculty comprises both basie and applied research in solid State physics, nuclear and elementary particles physics, medical physics and physics of the environment.

There are six departments within the Faculty:

1.    Department of Solid State Physics (Katedra Fizyki Ciała Stałego)

2.    Department of Medical Physics and Biophysics (Katedra Fizyki Medycznej i Biofizyki)

3.    Department of Condensed Matter Physics (Katedra Fizyki Materii Skondensowanej)

4.    Department of Applied Informatics and Computational Physics (Katedra Informatyki Stosowanej i Fizyki Komputerowej)

5.    Department of Particie Interaction and Detection Techniques (Katedra Oddziaływań i Detekcji Cząstek)

6.    Department of Applied Nuclear Physics (Katedra Zastosowań Fizyki Jądrowej)

Ali together 176 persons are employed including 121 scientists and 55 technical and administrative Staff. There are 40 fuli professors and 81 assistant professors or post-does.

Faculty offers several degree programs leading to B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees.

The undergraduate studies consist of seven-semester bachelor programs in three distinct areas: technical physics, medical physics and applied Computer science. They are followed by three-semester graduate programs, leading to the M.Sc. degree in the various specializations.

Area: Medical Physics; specializations:
