    Physics

General information

Physics, an integral part of 21st-century culture, is an experimental science that has been fundamental to the development of humanity. Its contributions to knowledge have transformed our understanding of reality and our interaction with the environment. The objective of the Bachelor's Degree in Physics is to understand the laws that govern the universe and natural phenomena, developing the necessary reasoning and mathematical and computational tools, as well as the skills to work in the laboratory, experiment, and obtain and interpret data. Ultimately, the purpose of this degree is to train versatile professionals, prepared to occupy positions in a wide range of job opportunities related to the application of physics and scientific methodology.

The entry profile for this degree is that of a person with a scientific interest in new technologies and a curiosity about nature and the phenomena that surround us; with a capacity for abstract understanding and analysis and synthesis, numerical skills, deductive ability, method and rigor in work, a solid background in the field of science, and an interest in research and experimentation. Therefore, those with an interest in mathematics and physics will be better suited at the beginning of their studies. Likewise, it is considered appropriate for new students to have a basic level of English and computer skills. It is also advisable for students to be willing to perform regular and continuous work throughout the course and the entire degree.

The professional activities of Physics graduates, beyond the scope of university teaching and research, are carried out in various professional sectors, such as:
• Public administration (areas such as meteorology, geophysics, oceanography, environment, and applied astrophysics in various public institutions)
• Scientific consulting (Data Science, Big Data, IT).
• Medicine (in fields such as radiology and medical physics in hospitals, as well as biophysics, radioactive facilities, and the development of non-invasive exploration instruments).
• Industry and energy (renewable energy, optics, electronics, aerospace and automotive, new materials).
• Technology and development (in the areas of software, quantum computing, telecommunications).
• Scientific Outreach. The versatile profile of Physics graduates offers a wide range of career opportunities that allow them to adapt to the needs of diverse and expanding industries and sectors.
