Course title:	Advanced Nuclear Physics
Name in Polish:	Zaawansowana fizyka jądrowa
Organizational unit:	Faculty of Physics
Course groups:	Physics, 2nd level; Nuclear and particle physics
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	6.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
Language:	Polish

Learning outcomes:	Knowledge of basic nuclear models na dall types of radioactivity. Understanding of the role of nuclear physics in the astrophysics modeling. Knowledge of the experimental set-ups and current nuclear physics research.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	Problem solving sessions will be graded based on the results of short but frequent test. Final grading will be based on the results of the examination and the nuclear physics experiment proposal to be written. List of experiments to be proposed will be given at the beginning of the semester.
