The Faculty of Physics of Universitat de València, former name: Faculty of Physical Sciences, was created on 19th September of 1977 because of a ministerial decree which divided the old Faculty of Sciences of Universitat de València into four faculties (Chemical Sciences, Physical Sciences, Mathematics and Biological sciences).
Its origins are from October 1964, together with the creation of the Physical Sciences Section in the former Science Faculty, located in Avenida de Blasco Ibáñez number 13, which since there was only the Chemical Sciences section. The subsequent birth of the sections of Mathematics and Biological sciences, the progressive increase of students and the imminent transfer and the present Campus de Burjassot, favoured the division in 4 of the mentioned faculties.
Nowadays, the degree of Physics and Pptics and Optometry.
