Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Collaborate and work in a team.
• Have developed practical skills in physics through practical sessions in the laboratory and sessions during which they have worked individually and in groups.
• Master expertise.
• Have developed the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous cycle to a level that extends beyond the Bachelor's course in Physics, and which provides the basis for the development and implementation of original ideas in a professional context.
• Have acquired knowledge and a thorough understanding of specialist areas of physics in connection with mathematics and/or advanced laboratory practices required for these sectors.
• Provide clear and accurate information.
• Share their knowledge and findings clearly and back them up rationally to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
• Collaborate and work in a team.
• Have developed practical skills in physics through practical sessions in the laboratory and sessions during which they have worked individually and in groups.
• Grow personally and professionally.
• Have developed the skills that will enable them to continue to acquire knowledge independently.
• Have a creative and rigorous scientific approach
• Gather and interpret relevant scientific data and critically analyse it, distinguishing working hypotheses of proven facts.
• Apply their knowledge, understanding and ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments and in multidisciplinary contexts related to physical sciences.
