L1-L2 Physique, chimie
Entry requirements
Parcoursup procedure. Second year accessible on application after 1 year of general training in the field of physics and chemistry. E-applicant application.
Benefits of the program
This Degree offers students gradual orientation via a choice of
specialization during the third year of the Degree.
Students can, therefore, acquire a wide base of scientific
skills in Chemistry as well as in Physics, Mechanics,
Electronics, Mathematics, Applied computer science, indispensable
for fields such as energy, materials and the environment.
The first year is a crossover year with high school and offers
adapted teaching in small classes (Lessons-tutorials (TD) without lecture theatre).

Your future career
These two years of general scientific training provide access to 5
Physics and Chemistry specific Degree pathways in the third year: Chemistry and Applications; Electronics, Electrical energy, automatics; Teaching; Mechanics; Physics and applications.
After their third year, most Physics and Chemistry
Degree students pursue with a Master's or enrol in an engineering school.
A L2 (2nd year) may also lead to a first year at ESIPE, the engineering school
through apprenticeship, in Electronics and Computer Science, Civil or Mechanical Engineering;
or a professional "Environment Management and Protection Careers" Degree.
Study objectives
A 2-year multidisciplinary university programme in Physics and Chemistry which students may pursue with a specialization in the 3rd year (in Chemistry, Electronics, electrical energy, automatics, Mechanics or Physics) and provides a wide range of fields for pursuing studies with a Master's or in an engineering school.
Major thematics of study
Physics - Chemistry - Electronics - Mechanics - Mathematics
Study organization
Un tutorat de pré-rentrée est organisé et les enseignements de 1ère année se déroulent en petite classe (Cours-TD).
