The Department of Applied Physics and Higher Mathematics (APHM) of The Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design (KNUTD) was established in September 2020 based on two departments: The Department of Higher Mathematics and The Department of Physics.
The main activity of the department is the training of highly qualified specialists in the field of multidisciplinary education, who have fundamental knowledge and are capable of effective use of knowledge and skills in the study of special subjects.
The educational program "Nano- and Microtechnology inCreative Design" offers graduation with the specialty "Applied Physics and Nanomaterials" from the department. Students who enjoy experiments and have an interest in the natural sciences are drawn to this curriculum. They also aim to use a variety of creative approaches to improve the surrounding area by making it more aesthetically pleasing, harmonious, and environmentally friendly.
The program's prospects are that graduates will be able to create projects that combine environmental and aesthetic elements with cutting-edge scientific and technological advancements, and they will be able to contribute to the development of Ukraine as well as the success of these projects by understanding the "physical secrets" of phenomena, materials, and processes.

The Department of Applied Physics and Higher Mathematics is located in the 4th academic building of the University. To ensure the educational process, the department has lecture rooms, classrooms for practical classes, research laboratories, and multimedia classrooms. Laboratory workshops in physics are held in specialized training laboratories.
Training laboratory of mechanics and molecular physics (room 4-0902, 52.9 m2)
Training laboratory of electricity and magnetism (room 4-0904, 52 m2)
Training laboratory of atomic and quantum physics, (room 4-0905, 53.3 m2)
The academic staff of the department has achieved numerous results in fundamental research in mathematics, physics and their applications, published in national and foreign professional journals and included in scientometric databases.
Teachers of the department participate in joint research projects with:
The Department maintains and continually develops academic links with Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, the G. V. Kurdyumov Institute of Metal Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the V. E. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and the Institute of Mathematics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Students have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-modern equipment at the facilities of the NAS of Ukraine’s institutes.
Lecturers from the department provide academic guidance to staff and postgraduate students at KNUTD, act as external examiners for Master’s and doctoral theses, and review academic and methodological works.
The department has a track record of successful academic work with students, aimed at engaging them in active research. The Department of Applied Physics and Higher Mathematics organises mathematics and physics competitions, which help to identify students with a talent for research and creative work. The best students engage in research work within student research societies in both the natural sciences and design fields, where they have the opportunity to share their scientific achievements, discuss new ideas and exchange views; they deliver interesting presentations on topical contemporary issues at scientific and practical conferences for young scientists at both national and international levels, and publish abstracts of their research papers. Most of these students find their calling in science, continue their research and, later on, go on to work as lecturers at KNUTD. Exciting excursions to leading international companies are organised for club members.
Most of these students go on to pursue careers in academia, gain international recognition and help develop the department’s start-up activities.
Some graduates continue their academic work after obtaining their bachelor’s degree.
The department grants degrees and prepares students for the specialisation 105 "Applied Physics and Nanomaterials" according to the training programme "Nano- and Microtechnology in Creative Design". Students of APHM have the opportunity to simultaneously assimilate the theoretical foundations of physics (focusing on the tailored properties of nanomaterials) and study the basics of design. Future graduates can acquire practical skills that allow combining aesthetic and environmental values in one object with modern technologies and achievements of science.
PERSPECTIVES FOR STUDENTS
Graduates of speciality E6 "Applied physics and nanomaterials" can be employed in organizations and institutions which create design solutions using the latest nano- and micro-dimensional structures.
The scope of creative design is quite broad: it can encompass issues ranging from inclusive spaces incorporating innovative technologies and nanomaterials to the creation of light-emitting smart clothing for animals.
At the same time, the educational programme offers the opportunity to engage in scientific research, which may lead to innovations that address pressing issues facing Ukraine and the world.
Graduates can perform such professional works as:
Olexander KOVALCHUK, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor of Department of Applied Physics and Higher Mathematics.
Irina OLEINIKOVA, PhD in Physics and Mathematics, Associate Professor.
Mykola GORBACHUK, PhD in Physics and Mathematics, Associate Professor.
Maksym TESLYK, PhD
