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.
• 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

Learning Outcomes of UE

Application of group theory in physics.

Content of UE

Finite groups, Lie groups and algebras. 

Prior Experience

Linear algebra, quantum mechanics. 

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Written examination

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

The exam consists in two parts. Part 1 (finite groups) and Part 2 (Lie groups and algebras).  If the student fails on one of the two parts, although the arithmetic mean is greater than 10/20, he/she will have to present the part where he/she failed, at the second session. 

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Written examination
