The programme for the 60 credit Master is designed to ensure students have knowledge of the fundamental laws and essential tools of modern physics. They will develop their intellectual and professional skills such as the ability to analyse a problem in physics, abstraction and modelling, rigour in reasoning and expression and a critical attitude.

The programme of 60 credits includes 10 credits for compulsory courses, 20 credits for activities related to the dissertation, 4 credits for human sciences and 26 credits for courses to be chosen from a list of activities.

tronc commun

The only university training directly accessible from the 60 credit Master in Physics is teacher training (30 credits). It is also possible, in one year, to gain the 120 credit Master in Physics. This gives access to doctorates and Advanced Masters. Students’ attention is drawn to the fact that this progression will require the submission of two dissertations and may require up to 15 credits for additional courses.

Admission and Enrolment Procedures for general registration

See the general admission requirements

The programme comprises basic courses, a dissertation and some courses chosen in consultation with the dissertation supervisor. The basic courses provide training in the theory but also an introduction to experimental methods and requirements. They are more advanced in nature than the introductory courses for the bachelor’s degree.

Students will mainly be assessed on the basis of individual work (e.g. reading, consultation of databases and bibliographic references, writing monographs and reports, presentation of seminars and dissertation). Where necessary, students will also be assessed on how much they have learned from lectures. Assessment of the dissertation is done on the basis of work over the year and how it is presented both in written and oral form.
