Notes:
1. Content of special courses is determined in conjunction with
the following specializations of the faculty: theoretical and
mathematical physics, nuclear physics, molecular physics,
optics and spectroscopy, physics of a solid body, physics of
low temperature, radio physics, geophysics.
2. Productive (or industrial) work /8 weeks/ is carried out between
4th and 5th years. In connection with this, educational studies
and examinations for the 8th semester and three weeks earlier;
studies for the 5th year begin 6 October,
5. Studies in educational shops, in general, atomic, nuclear,
radiomtechnicale and special physics practical work, in mathe.
matical practical work, and in laboratories of specialization
are conducted in groups numbering no more than six Students per
one instructor,
