The advantages of the training

The PC license is a generalist license in Material Sciences based on both Physics and Chemistry. The knowledge base that it provides is sufficiently solid and broad for students to be able to pursue a Master's degree in MEEF, research masters or engineering schools. Thus, the Physics and Chemistry degree provides much more than a double skill. It opens up a whole range of disciplines at the interfaces of these two sciences, but also at the interfaces of many others that are at the heart of today's major societal concerns: biology, earth and environmental sciences, applied mathematics and computer science.

Objectives

The Physics and Chemistry Bachelor's degree is a generalist degree in the Sciences of Matter, aiming to provide a solid foundation of skills in the fields of Physics and Chemistry. It allows for a wide range of further studies, from professional licenses to doctorates, including masters and engineering schools, leading to professional integration at different levels, from senior technician to researcher or teacher-researcher, including engineering jobs, in the private or public sectors.

Know-how and skills

  • Mobilize mathematical, computer science, physics and chemistry concepts to approach and solve problems at a high level of abstraction.
  • Learn about scientific computing through numerical tools
  • Identify and carry out independently the different steps of an experimental approach.
  • Use the most common laboratory measuring devices in the fields of physics and chemistry
  • Validate a model by comparing its predictions with experimental results and assess its validity limits.
  • Identify sources of error to calculate the uncertainty of an experimental result.
  • Identify and select various resources (bibliographic, web,...) to document a topic.
  • Write a report of experiments or bibliographic research
  • Present orally the results of a research or bibliographical study
