- Monographic lectures and other ellective courses available in winter and summer semesters of 2022/23 are listed here.
- Here is the long list of university-wide courses delivered from all faculties of NCU. You can choose from all these courses except from those strictly related to the program of PandA, i.e., Physics and Astronomy.
