The Faculty of Science at J. E. Purkinje University is the second youngest faculty of the Usti nad Labem alma mater. Its history goes back to the spring of 2005 when the Institute of Science was established at UJEP. On the 4^th of November of the same year, the Institute was transformed into Faculty. Since that time the Faculty of Science has firmly established itself among the other Faculties of Sciences in the Czech Republic.

Faculty of Science at J. E. Purkinje University Departments:

In the framework of these departments, the Faculty offers over 17 study fields and combinations at three levels, both as full-time and combined study.

The Faculty mission

The mission of the Faculty of Science is to encourage learning and develop knowledge in the fields of natural sciences. Its aim is to boost science and research base of UJEP in the field of natural sciences and acquire greater integration in the European research space and international cooperation network. The next task of the Faculty of Science is to provide higher education at all the three levels (Bc., Mgr., PhD) both in natural sciences and close technical fields, and also for teachers of natural sciences subjects for the second stage of basic schools and for secondary schools. The faculty prepares graduates in such way that they can find good employment at the employment market, and at the same time, are able to engage in science research.

In the field of science and research, the faculty mainly focuses on computer physics, computer methods and simulations, the problem of methodology of molecular simulation and their application for problems of physics, chemistry and chemical engineering, modelling of energy processes in solar atmosphere with orientation towards eruption physics, further towards the physics of plasmas, plazmochemistry, physics of thin layers and surfaces, research of electrochemical biosensors for environment analysis, microbiology and biology of plants and animals, application geography, environmental geography, country ecology , country synthesis, country planning and instrumental methods in analytical chemistry.

Since 2008, RNDr. Marek Maly, PhD from the department of physics has been a member of research team at Swiss university in Lugano, which is working on the project focusing on the fight against cancer.

Not only for today's students, but also and mainly for the prospective students, the faculty prepares regular events at which they can get acquainted (not only) with the activities of all departments. Here are, for example, Days of Science, faculty competitions and contests (very much enjoyed are volleyball tournaments, and, for example climbing tournament on artificial wall).

Our students have also many opportunities for informal meetings with their "fellow-travellers" and teachers during the whole study year.

It doesn't do without sports

Our students have plenty of opportunities where to attend to sports and entertainment. They can find many University sports facilities directly in the student's Halls of Residence or in their vicinity - gyms in Hall1 (Klišská) and Hall 6 (Hoření) and fitness rooms in Hall 3 (Jateční), Hall 5 (Na Okraji), Hall 6 (Hoření) .
