Learning unit contents

Physics for first-year university students in life sciences : electromagnetism, quantum physics and nuclear physics. Some concepts are illustrated by applications to life sciences.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

See french version.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Basic mathematics (algebra, analyse, elements of geometry and trigonometry) are also needed.
A few concepts studied in the courses Physics I and Physics II are used and are supposed to be known (there will be no reminder)

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

This learning unit make use of different learning and teaching activities such as face-to-face and online courses as well as practical works where students are teached to the solving of exercices and the use of experimental devices. Active participation of the students is expected when solving exercices and during the practical works. Experiments are performed in live and video documents are projected during the courses. They are full part of the course contents.
You will find more details in the french version.
Effective presence at the practical works is mandatory and will be checked.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

The theoretical course is face-to-face or online with active participation of the students for the solving of exercices. Much more active participation of the students is expected for the practical works.
You will find more details in the french version.
