PhD students of the Nicolaus Copernicus University may carry out doctoral theses in the field of physics and biophysics as part of Interdisciplinary Doctoral Studies in Physical Sciences.

The Scientific Council of the Institute of Physics at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń has the right to confer doctoral and postdoctoral degrees in physical sciences in the field of physics and biophysics and to initiate applications for the title of professor in physics.

Academic physics have started in Toruń in 1945, once the Nicolaus Copernicus University was founded. The initiator and organizer of the Department of Physics was prof. Aleksander Jabłoński who came to Toruń with a group of professors from the Stefan Batory Universityopposed his nomination, as did seven former presidents of the American Bar Association. William Howard Taft, the former president and future chief justice, called him “utterly unscrupulous” and “a man of infinite cunning.”
