Faculty of Science
Hours per week
54h
After reviewing classical mechanics, we will discuss the fundamental quantities of thermodynamics: elementary work, macroscopic work, etc.
The distinction between heat and temperature will be explained in detail.
The concept of pressure will be explained macroscopically, while also providing a microscopic interpretation.
Next, using a historical approach, we will show how principles 1 and 2 were formulated.
From there, applications will be examined: cycles, ideal/real gas, etc.
Thanks to the introduction of state changes, examples (critical point) will be presented.
We will conclude with thermodynamics: mainly diffusion. Depending on the time remaining, concepts related to radiation will be presented.

Faculty of Science
The planetology course focuses on the Solar System and its planets. Its position in the Universe is also discussed, introducing the concept of exoplanets (detection and habitability). The course consists of three parts: astrophysics, geophysics, and geochemistry. The astrophysics section begins by providing context within the Universe, then addresses the formation of the Solar System, its dynamics, and its evolution. The geophysics part deals with planetary interiors and their evolution based on data from space missions. The geochemistry part focuses on nucleosynthesis, the abundance of chemical elements, and the composition of the primitive Earth, the present Earth, and other planets based on the study of meteorites. The approach developed combines theoretical and practical approaches.
Hourly volumes:

Discovering physiology
ECTS
4 credits
Training structure
Faculty of Science
This optional course allows students to prepare for the animal physiology classes of the next two semesters by approaching this discipline exclusively through the analysis of historical experiments that laid the foundations for this subject. The course analyzes historical experiments on digestion, ventilation, cardiac activity, reproduction, and development. In tutorials, the experiments analyzed address nutrition, metabolism, respiratory gas exchange, blood vessels, blood pressure, kidneys, growth, nervous and hormonal communication, and immunity.
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell 1
ECTS
4 credits
Training structure
Faculty of Science
The "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell 1" course is a continuation of the S1 course "From Molecules to Cells," which laid the structural foundations of life. In this course, students will learn the basics of biochemistry, replication, transcription, translation, intracellular movements, and bioenergetics.
This EU will be supplemented by EU HAV204V for L1 SVSE.
It will be followed by L1 TEE and L1 Chemistry.
Exploring the brain
ECTS

Training structure
Faculty of Science
The brain is at the center of human behavior. It acts as the body's control tower. It continuously captures a flow of information coming from both the external environment and the body. This information must be processed and analyzed quickly in order to provide an appropriate response. All of these mechanisms, which at first glance appear complex, are based on simple biological mechanisms.
