Scientific research work

Topics for scientific research work

At the beginning of the semester, students have to choose a scientific research topic from suggested ones at the faculty website (see below) and to agree on it with an academic supervisor. Students are also free to suggest their own topics for supervisors. Students have to make the final agreement on the topic until the 14th of September. After the agreement, the academic supervisor must inform the administrator of a particular institute and provide name and study programme of the student as well as the name of the agreed topic. 

Scientific research topics for the autumn semester of 2021-2022 academic year (click on the particular institute to see topics): 

1. Institute of Chemical Physics
2. Institute of Photonics and Nanotechnology
3. Laser Research Center
4. Institute of Applied Electrodynamics and Telecommunication

5. Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics

If student wishes do scientific research work in a scientific group not based in the Faculty of Physics, he/she must agree upon a topic with a possible supervisor from that institution. Afterwards, the scientific research work topic and place have to be agreed with the chair of the study programme committee (SPC) and student must receive a confirmation that a particular scientific research work topic and place corresponds to the study field and level of the study programme. In these cases, the student has to inform the Dean's office about their scientific research work topic and place via e-mail  until 15th of September. A name of a student, study programme, scientific research work topic, name of the supervisor, supervisor's institution and his/her contact information must be present in the e-mail. The student has also to indicate in the e-mail if his/her scientific research topic (at another institution) was confirmed by the chair of the SPC.

In order for students to do scientific research work outside Vilnius University, a three-party agreement has to be signed. In this case, contact Dean's office via e-mail . The three-party agreement form can be found here.

Defence of scientific research work

Scientific research work is done during the entire semester. At the end of the semester, scientific research work has to be defended at the defence committee of the particular department. Usually, the defence is conducted at the end of the exam session. Particular dates of the scientific research work defence are published at the faculty website (see below). If scientific research work was done not at the Faculty of Physics, the student has to contact the chair of the study programme committee of vice-dean for studies to be assigned for defence in one of the department defence committees. 

Dates for the defence of the scientific research work:
