Bachelor

The Bachelor's degree in physics provides a solid background in classical and quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.

It also provides an introduction to solid state physics, astronomy and astrophysics, applied physics and particle physics. The acquisition and development of mathematical and computer tools used in physics - and in the natural sciences in general - are also part of this training.

The Bachelor's degree gives access to the Masters in physics, astrophysics and bi-disciplinary sciences.

MOBILITY

Departure to a Swiss or foreign university is possible once 60 credits have been obtained. The regulations allow students to obtain up to 60 Bachelor's credits outside the Faculty. Depending on the section, we advise students to carry out their mobility programme either in the 2nd or 3rd year of their Bachelor's degree, for a duration of 2 semesters.

For all destinations, students must ensure that the examinations taken at the host university are recognised as equivalent by the Faculty of Science.
