Bachelor
The bachelor's degree in physics provides a solid foundation in classical and quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics.
It also offers an introduction to solid-state physics, astronomy and astrophysics, applied physics, and particle physics. The program also includes the acquisition and development of mathematical and computer tools used in physics and the natural sciences in general.
The bachelor's degree provides access to master's programs in physics, astrophysics, and dual-discipline science programs.

MOBILITY
Students can transfer to a Swiss or foreign university once they have earned 60 credits. The regulations allow students to earn up to 60 Bachelor's credits outside the Faculty. Depending on the section, we advise students to complete their mobility program in the second or third year of their Bachelor's degree, for a period of two semesters.
For all destinations, students must ensure that the exams taken at the host university are recognized as equivalent by the Faculty of Science.
(February 28 for applicants who, based on their nationality, require a visa in accordance with Swiss regulations)
