Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Schedule

Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

The course follows the conventional structure:mechanics, fluids, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, waves and optics.

Mathematical notions will be presented progressively as they become necessary. 

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Physics describes the real world. Each topic will be dealt with through concrete observation and experimentation so as to lead students to the theoretical study of specific concepts and notions without ever emphasizing details. Examples in the pharmaceutical and biomedical field are presented to intuitively help the understanding. The course deals with the principles of physics and presents scientific methodology within the context of reasoning processes, synthesising abilities and analytic rigour.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Physics notions as learned in secondary school.
Good mathematical knowledge.
Otherwise, training sessions are scheduled in the early time of the academic year.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Practical sessions (20 hours) are MANDATORY. 

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