Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• 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
• Collaborate and work in a team
• Have developed practical skills in physics through practical sessions in the laboratory, including error analysis and critical evaluation of experimental results, and sessions during which they have worked individually and in groups.
• Grow personally and professionally
• Have developed generic skills that are applicable in other contexts, especially a basic knowledge of chemistry, the use of the English language and understanding programming techniques
• 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

Learning Outcomes of UE

Understanding the radical difference between classical and quantum mechanics: which are the pertinent questions, which are the answers that QM provides... Understanding the QM postulates, especially their experimental support and their origin.

Some models displaying stationary states of simple unidimensional systems, characterized by discontinuous potentials. Determination of wave functions valid fot those sytems (bound states in a square potential, quantum tunneling) MQ postulates.

Prior Experience

General physics (especially mechanics and electromagntism) Calculus and linear algebra.
