Entry requirements

Parcoursup Procedure Admission to second year based on application after one year of general training in Physics and Chemistry. Application via eCandidat.

Benefits of the program

This Licence degree allows students to specialise gradually and only chose their final programme in the third year. This allows students to acquire a broad foundation of scientific knowledge in chemistry, physics, mechanics, electronics and applied mathematics and computer science, which are essential for fields such as energy, materials and the environment. The first year is a transitionary year from high school and teaching methods are adapted accordingly (small classes and tutorials, no whole-year lectures).

Acquired skills

Solid training in general scientific theory, experimentation and digital technology.

Ability to solve theoretical problems in chemistry and physics and their applications (materials, energy, the environment), as well as in mechanics and electrical engineering.

Ability to implement an experimental method; collect, manage and present results; explain and present a project process, the knowledge concerned and the results obtained verbally and in writing.

Your future career

These two years of general scientific training equip students to pursue their studies in one of the five third-year programmes of the Physics and Chemistry Licence: Chemistry and Applications; Electronics, Electrical Energy, Automation; Education; Mechanics; Physics and Applications. After third year, most students of the Physics and Chemistry Licence continue with a Master’s or enrol at an engineering school.

After second year, students can also enrol in a first-year course at ESIPE, an apprenticeship-based engineering school, in electronics and computer science, civil engineering or mechanics, or a professional Licence in Environmental Management and Protection Professions.

Study objectives

Two years of multidisciplinary education in physics and chemistry with a specialisation in third year (in chemistry; electronics; energy and electrics; automation; mechanics or physics). Multiple opportunities to pursue further study through a Master’s degree or at an engineering school.

Major thematics of study

Physics - Chemistry - Electronics - Mechanics - Mathematics

Calendar

The course includes an optional work placement

Options

Introductory options are offered in first year and students can start to specialise through the optional units in second year.
