Degree in Physics

15221: Students must have acquired knowledge and understanding in a specific field of study, on the basis of general secondary education and at a level that includes mainly knowledge drawn from advanced textbooks, but also some cutting-edge knowledge in their field of study.
15222: Students must be able to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and have acquired the competences required for the preparation and defence of arguments and for problem solving in their field of study.
15223: Students must have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually in their field of study) to make judgements that take relevant social, scientific or ethical issues into consideration.
15224: Students must be able to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both expert and lay audiences.
15225: Students must have developed the learning skills needed to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy.
4046: Knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of physics in theoretical and experimental aspects, and the mathematical background needed for its formulation.
4103: To know how to apply the knowledge acquired to professional activity, to know how to solve problems and develop and defend arguments, relying on this knowledge.
4105: Ability to collect and interpret relevant data in order to make judgements.
4107: Capacity to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to a specialist and a general audience.
4108: Developing learning skills so as to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.
4268: Problem solving: be able to evaluate clearly the orders of magnitude in situations which are physically different, but show analogies, thus allowing the use of known solutions in new problems .
4271: Theoretical understanding of physical phenomena: have a good understanding of the most important physical theories (logical and mathematical structure, experimental support, described physical phenomena).
4272: Be able to understand and master the use of the most commonly used mathematical and numerical methods.
4273: Have become familiar with most important experimental methods and be able to perform experiments independently, estimate uncertainties, as well as to describe, analyse and critically evaluate experimental data according to the physical models involved. Know how to use basic instrumentation.
4274: Modelling & Problem solving skills: be able to identify the essentials of a process / situation and to set up a working model of the same; be able to perform the required approximations so as to reduce a problem to an approachable one. Critical thinking to construct physical models.
1877: Physics general culture: Be familiar with the most important areas of physics and with those approaches which span many areas in physics, or connections of physics with other sciences.
1878: Prob. solving and computer skills: be able to perform calculations independently, even when a small PC or a large computer is needed, including the development of software programmes.
1879: Basic & applied Research: acquire an understanding of the nature and ways of physics research and of how physics research is applicable to many fields other than physics, e.g. engineering; be able to design experimental and/or theoretical procedures for: (i) solving current problems in academic or industrial research; (ii) improving the existing results.
1880: Foreign Language skills: Have improved command of English (or other foreign languages of interest) through: use of the basic literature, written and oral communication (scientific and technical English), participation in courses, study abroad via exchange programmes, and recognition of credits at foreign universities or research centres.
1830: Literature Search: be able to search for and use physical and other technical literature, as well as any other sources of information relevant to research work and technical project development.
1831: Learning ability: be able to enter new fields through independent study, in physics and science and technology in general.
1832: Communication Skills (written and oral): Being able to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions through argumentation and reasoning which are characteristic of the scientific activity, using basic concepts and tools of physics.
15224: Students must be able to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both expert and lay audiences.
