Double degree in Mathematics and Physics

Introduction

Objectives and competences

Objectives

What is this course designed for?

• To acquire fundamental knowledge of physic phenomena, the theories and laws that regulate them, and the models that explain them.
• To develop the abilities of analysis, abstraction, intuition, and logical thinking, as well as the capacity to recognize the presence of physics and mathematics in natural, scientific, technological and social phenomena.
• To acquire the level of knowledge required in mathematics and physics to continue to postgraduate study or seek employment, including teaching and research positions.

Competences

Generic competences 

• Capacity for learning and responsibility (capacity for analysis and synthesis, to adopt global perspectives and to apply knowledge in practice, and capacity to take decisions and adapt to new situations).

Access and admission

Applicant profile and access requirements

Recommended applicant profile

It is advisable to have an interest in discovering and understanding or explaining everyday physical phenomena, a general interest in science and new technologies, logical reasoning skills, and proficiency in mathematics and physics.

Ideally, incoming students will have completed physics and mathematics in the Science and Technology specialization at upper-secondary school level (where applicable) or have a comparable level of knowledge acquired under different systems.

Access requirements and conditions

Admission for students with studies completed outside Spain.

Applicants holding higher educational qualifications from a university outside Spain should consult the page Admission with foreign qualifications to find out about specific admission requirements.
 

Pre-enrolment

Students that have studied abroad and who wish to study at the University of Barcelona may be admitted to EHEA bachelor's degree courses. Procedures for gaining admission will depend on the qualifications held by each applicant.

For further information about admission, consult the page Admission with foreign qualifications.

Placements

Placements in a company or another type of organization are an integral part of university studies, providing first-hand experience of working methodologies in students' chosen professional fields.They offer invaluable practical experience for the transition into work after graduation.

Placements are supervised by tutors and subject to assessment.They are therefore included in the academic record.  There is also an option to complete non-curricular placements of up to 500 hours, which can be extended to 900 hours. For both curricular and non-curricular placements, an educational cooperation agreement is signed between the UB and the company, institution or other organization at which the placement will be carried out.
