Double degree in Física i Matemàtiques

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). 
• Ability to interpret changes in a particular sphere of activity in order to adapt to them. 
• Ability to use information and communication technologies in professional practice. 
• Capacity to manage time in contexts of change and uncertainty. 
• Ability to make effective use of the bibliography and other electronic resources to obtain information. 
• Teamwork skills. 
• Ability to acquire new knowledge and techniques autonomously. 

• Ability to understand and use the mathematical method. 
• Knowledge of rigorous demonstrations of the basic theorems and the different branches of mathematics. 
• Theoretical understanding of physical phenomena. 
• Capacity for abstract thought and for modelling. 
• Ability to use computer programs to experiment with physics and mathematics and to solve problems. 
• Ability to solve physical and mathematical problems through calculus and other techniques.  
• Ability to identify the presence of physics and mathematics in other disciplines.  
• Capacity for logical reasoning and ability to identify procedural mistakes.  
• Mastery of experimental method and laboratory work and ability to use basic instrumentation. 
• Understanding of the nature of physics and mathematics research and of how it is done. 

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.
