Specific admission requirements
Formal Requirements Certificate of completion of Italian upper secondary school or equivalent foreign qualification.
Evaluation of specific subject knowledge on entry
Verification of the knowledge required for the attendance of the course of study through a compulsory evaluation test of indicative and non-selective nature. Additional educational obligations and a tutoring service will be given to the students that will not pass the test. Foreign students are required to take a test to verify their proficiency of the Italian language, except Erasmus Incoming students, Exchange Students and students in mobility as per the Cooperation Agreement
Profile of the programme
The learning outcome of the Degree Course is to provide the student with a base knowledge of the Galileo’s scientific method and with an introduction to the main fields investigated by modern Physics. Even though it has a methodological and preparatory nature, the Degree Course in Physics, by giving a based knowledge in modern theoretical Physics, mathematical methods, experimental techniques, use of innovative instruments, and data analysis, facilitates the job placement in various technology sectors.
Programme learning outcomes
The graduate in Physics does acquire those fundamental knowledges that allow him an exhaustive comprehension of theoretical, experimental and technological developments in Physics. Peculiar attention is devoted to the foundation of classical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and special relativity, as well as to the application of the Galileo’s experimental method, and hence the use of innovative instruments and analysis data techniques. He must be able to analyze data sets coming from either experimental measurements or theoretical studies, by taking advantage from acquired knowledges and by developing new ad-hoc techniques. Finally, he has to acquire the ability of transmitting the results of his research for the purposes of both, knowledge dissemination and teaching.
Qualification requirements and regulations
The student is admitted to the final test after acquiring the credits imposed by the study plan (excluding the 8 CFU of the same final test). The test consists in the digital presentation (2 CFU) to a commission of a thesis work (6 CFU). The thesis is a personal in-depth study of one or more topics treated during the Degree program. The thesis is prepared under the guidance and supervision of a Professor of the Degree Course and it can also be based on a possible university internship program.
Examination regulations and grading scale
EXAMS - Evaluation: oral and/or written test. - Possibility of intermediate tests. - Other possible elements of evaluation: term papers, internships, participation in seminars. - Assessing: out of thirty (from 18/30 to 30/30, with possible honors for excellence). - Commission: at least two teachers, including the course owner (President). - Exam sessions: 8/year. FINAL TITLE. - Evaluation: discussion of the thesis. - Evaluation elements: average of the marks of the exams, duration of the educational path, quality of the work done and of the discussion.. - Assessing: out of one hundred and tenths (from 66/110 to 110/110, with possible honors for excellence). - Commission: 7 teachers of the degree course. - Sessions: 6/year
Obligatory or optional mobility windows
It is possible to carry out university internship activities abroad, at universities, institutes and laboratories thanks to the Erasmus program, centrally supported. The mobility windows are not temporarily rigid, although it is preferable that the students use them during the 2nd or 3rd year of the course.
Work-based learning
Even though it is not required, an internal or external internship program is allowed. The majority of students prefers to take advantage from such a possibility by attending curses and performing laboratory activities in our department or in other institutes, these experiences will be useful for a possible Master Degree.
Occupational profiles of graduates
Graduates in Physics can work in all those areas that deal with industrial technology applications of Physics (electronics, optics, computer science, mechanics, acoustics, etc.), as well as with activities concerning: environmental and radiation protection services, development and material characterization, telecommunication, satellite control systems, etc.. Ultimately, they have occupational possibilities in any public and private, scientific and non-scientific institution, where data analysis and interpretation skills are required.
