      Objectives of general skills

      • Understand the fundamentals
        • Have a good knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of physics and of the role of models and theories.
        • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of mathematics suitable for the study of physics, and be able to use this mathematics in applications in the field of physics
        • Undertake further study having already acquired and enhanced the necessary learning skills
      • Provide clear and accurate information
        • Communicate complex information to a qualified scientific partner
      • Have a rigorous scientific approach
        • Solve simple problems in the context of physics by identifying their basic aspects and by using both appropriate theoretical and experimental methods
        • Have integrated theoretical and/or practical skills during an introductory training session on scientific research
