Bachelor Physics and chemistry
Physique, Chimie : Enseignement 2nd degré
Entry requirements
Third year accessible after 2 years of general training in the field of Physics, E-applicant application.
Benefits of the program
The Degree comprises an observation placement in college and in high school, which is spread over the year (20h in college; 20h in high school), which counts as a TU for semester 6, assessed through a written report and oral defence. This placement offers students initial contact with the various aspects of teaching physics and chemistry. Students choose a main subject in chemistry, or in Physics and the subsidiary in another subject area, based on their preferences in regard to the different subjects. This dual skill is essential for training future physics and chemistry teachers. The 3rd year of the Degree comprises, during the first semester, a TU introducing digital methods on computer and, during the second semester, a physics or chemistry (depending on the main subject chosen) project TU where students, working in pairs, carry out a theoretical, and/or experimental personal study. For this pathway, this project may be the development of educational practical work.
Acquired skills
Acquiring sound general scientific training on theoretical, experimental and digital levels; ability to solve theoretical problems in the field of physics and its applications (materials, energy, environment); ability to roll out an experimental approach; ability to collect, manage and present results, ability to explain and present - orally and in writing, a project approach, knowledge brought into play, results obtained.

Your future career
Students on this pathway go on to do the Master's in Careers in Teaching, Education and Training (MEEF) for secondary schools to prepare the Physics Chemistry CAPES (secondary school teaching certificate). They may also choose to study another Master's in the field of Physics and/or Chemistry.
Study objectives
A 2-year multidisciplinary university programme in Physics and Chemistry which students may pursue with a specialization in the 3rd year in Physics provides a wide range of fields for pursuing studies with a Master's or in an Engineering school
