Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course follows the conventional structure.
Part 1 deals with mechanics, thermodynamics and fluids.
Part 2 deals with electricity, magnetism, waves and optics.
Mathematical notions will be presented progressively as they become necessary.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Physics describes the real world. Each topic will be dealt with through concrete observation and experimentation so as to lead students to the theoretical study of specific concepts and notions without ever emphasizing details. Examples in the pharmaceutical and biomedical field are presented to intuitively help the understanding. The course deals with the principles of physics and presents scientific methodology within the context of reasoning processes, synthesising abilities and analytic rigour.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Physics notions as learned in secondary school.
Good mathematical knowledge.
Otherwise, training sessions are scheduled in the early time of the academic year.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Practical sessions (20 hours) are MANDATORY.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
- The theoretical course (60 hours) is given in the first quadrimester, 3x per week (3x 1h45)
- Practical Lab sessions (20 hours) are MANDATORY and are given in the first quadrimester.
- Physics problems (20 hours) are given in the first quadrimester.
Students will be divided into series.
