Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Understand the fundamentals
• Have a good knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of physics and of the role of models and theories.
• Collaborate and work in a team
• Have developed practical skills in physics through practical sessions in the laboratory, including error analysis and critical evaluation of experimental results, and sessions during which they have worked individually and in groups.
