Physical License

From intense tropical cyclones to submicron components of matter to our daily environment, physics takes an essential look at our world. Studying physics means training your mind in a scientific approach that constantly intertwines observation, experimentation, modeling and theoretical reflection. Physics training at the University of La Réunion offers students a suitable educational environment to enable them to acquire these skills. Teaching is designed to combine fundamental concepts and learning methodological and experimental tools. A special place is thus given to the analysis and observation of results resulting from the practical application of fundamental concepts of physics.

The main objective of the Physics Degree is to guarantee solid fundamental training in physics, allowing professional integration, at the technician/assistant engineer level and further studies in a Master's degree ensuring subsequent professional integration at the manager/engineer level.

The teaching is designed to combine fundamental concepts with learning of methodological and experimental tools. Emphasis is placed on experimental illustration through practical work and projects while associating the use of analogies to develop the ability to estimate, model and calculate

Beyond their basic knowledge in physics, mathematics and computer science, students who obtain their Bachelor's degree in physics will have the following skills:

• Autonomy in work, time management, self-assessment.
• Implementation of an experimental approach and carrying out an associated scientific experiment.
• Solving a scientific problem.
• Theoretical formulation, modeling, algorithms and scientific programming.
• Use of new information and communication technologies.
• Information and documentary research.
• Communication in English (oral and written).

This training provides students with a suitable educational environment for acquiring and using basic knowledge in mathematics in order to formulate laws and quantify observations or measurements, to master the composition of matter, and in computer programming (digital tools and experiment support) in order to complete analytical modeling. The main disciplinary fields concern the fields of electromagnetism, mechanics, optics, quantum physics, relativity, subatomic physics, nuclear physics, thermodynamics and statistical physics. This Bachelor's degree includes multidisciplinary introductory courses that allow skills to be broadened to areas such as the environment, geosciences, life sciences, computer science, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, materials physics, management, etc.

An internship in a professional environment must be completed in License 3.

Not concerned.

Baccalaureate or equivalent.

The Bachelor of Physics is a diploma which offers students the possibility of applying for Masters with a physics focus or Masters in teaching. Furthermore, a partnership with the Paul Sabatier University of Toulouse offers the possibility for students who have completed their diploma to access certain Masters degrees from this university. Access to engineering schools with a Bachelor's degree in physics is also possible, generally on application.

Generally speaking, the energy, environment and engineering sectors are opportunities for our graduates who want to enter the workplace. The environment in Reunion Island is favorable in these dynamic and potentially job-creating sectors.
