Doctoral School of Physics

The HSE Doctoral School of Physics offers students in-depth training and opportunities to perform high quality independent research in a diverse array of subjects, ranging from physics at the nanoscale to astrophysics.

At our school, students have opportunities to carry out cutting-edge research by joining one of our programmes in such fields as theoretical physics, low-temperature physics, condensed-matter physics, optics, or astrophysics. Our students, experimentalists and theorists explore the laws of physics at a fundamental level, as well as examine new physical phenomena. Our goal is to provide a world-class education and research experience.

‘Students at HSE University’s Faculty of Physics Receive a World-Class Education’

On October 10, 2016, the Faculty of Physics was created at HSE University. It was the university’s first natural science faculty. Its first master’s students graduated in 2019, its first bachelor’s students completed their studies in 2021, and the first doctoral students will do the same in 2023 after beginning their bachelor’s studies in 2017. In his interview, Mikhail Trunin, Dean of HSE University’s Faculty of Physics, talks about the Kapitsa educational system implemented at the faculty, the results that have been achieved in seven years of work, and what is still missing.
