THE STUDENTS' VIEW Jana Nováková IPNP, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague RECFA meeting,

WHAT TO DO? medicine law theology mathematics&physics economy philosophy natural science pedagogy

WHAT IS MORE EXCITING? biology or particle physics?

WHAT IS MORE EXCITING? biology or particle physics?

WHY TO STUDY PARTICLE PHYSICS? ● it gets you closer to the substance of the matter ● it introduces an interesting subject of quantum (field) theory and phenomenons beyond our everyday experience ● it uses magnificent experimental apparatus ● it involves international projects and collaboration ● its students are wanted and well treated :)

SUMMER SCHOOLS CERN Summer School 2006

HOWEVER, particle physics also... ● means working in front of the computer ● requires many computer skills ● demands long study before becoming a particle physicist

MONEY, MONEY PhD. students' salary: ● it is possible to live with it ● problems with renting a flat in Prague ● students can't save any money How to have more money: ● trainee-ships abroad ● students find a part-time job ● PhD. or postdoctoral position abroad

PARTICLE PHYSICS IS... definitely an interesting subject to study physics & mathematics & computing
