Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Master expertise.
• Have developed the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous cycle to a level that extends beyond the Bachelor's course in Physics, and which provides the basis for the development and implementation of original ideas in a professional context.
• Have acquired knowledge and a thorough understanding of specialist areas of physics in connection with mathematics and/or advanced laboratory practices required for these sectors.
• Have reached a level of knowledge and skill giving them access to the third cycle of the study programme / doctoral studies (only for two-year Master courses).
• Provide clear and accurate information.
• Share their knowledge and findings clearly and back them up rationally to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
• Collaborate and work in a team.
• Have developed practical skills in physics through practical sessions in the laboratory and sessions during which they have worked individually and in groups.
• Grow personally and professionally.
• Present the appropriate knowledge and skills to the teaching profession in upper secondary school (for students in the teaching sector); present the appropriate knowledge and skills for professions using the skills of physicists (and other) in different sectors of society (for everyone).
• Have developed the skills that will enable them to continue to acquire knowledge independently.
• Have a creative and rigorous scientific approach
• Gather and interpret relevant scientific data and critically analyse it, distinguising working hypotheses of proven facts.
• Apply their knowledge, understanding and ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments and in multidisciplinary contexts related to physical sciences.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The student will be able to: - Understand and describe using the adapted nomenclature the different interactions that may exist between matter and the electromagnetic radiation. - Interpreting the results of the interaction between matter and the electromagnetic radiation to deduce information about the atomic and molecular structure, the electronic structure and / or to evaluate the relative concentration of the material .

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Quantum mechanics basics * Interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter * Electron spectroscopy of diatomic molecules and polyatomic * Electron Spectroscopy of Nanostructures * Synchrotron radiation basics * Spectroscopic methods ( photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger spectroscopy, X-ray absorption ( XANES / EXAFS ) and energy loss spectroscopy ( EELS)
