The School of Physics and Technology is one one of the four physics schools of Vasyl Karazin Kharkiv National University. It specializes in the fields of nuclear physics, plasma physics, materials science and medical physics.
Distinctive features of the school include close cooperation with the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology, and fundamental theoretical training in style of the Landau school, to which many instructors of the faculty belong.
The school was established in 1962 on the basis of the Department of Nuclear Physics of the School of Physics and Mathematics. The Department of Nuclear Physics existed since 1946, and some other departments incorporated into the school existed since the 1930s. In 1969 the department moved from the main building of the university to a separate campus in the Pyatikhatki district, to be closer to the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology.
