Master of Fundamental Physics and Applications, Course: Physics

The objective of the “Physics” course of the Master of Physics is to provide high-level training in fundamental physics covering a very broad area of ​​Physics, with increase in the theoretical, numerical and experimental skills. It is also about providing students with a great capacity for adaptation compatible with the current evolution of research and industrial development activities in many fields: The Physics of Particles and Astroparticles; Theoretical and Mathematical Physics; Astrophysics and Cosmology; The study of Electromagnetic Radiation, its Interaction with Matter, Analysis and Signal Processing; Optics and Image Processing; The study of condensed matter (Solid, Soft Matter, etc.); The physical study of complex systems (in particular biological); Fusion Sciences and Energy-related fields.

Solid and in-depth initial training in physics, physics-chemistry or engineering.

The “Physics” course objectives are the development of students' individual projects. It allows you to acquire a major in the field of particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology, theoretical physics, fusion plasmas, radiation, condensed matter, mesoscopic systems, complex systems , the complexity of the living world, in the processing of large masses of data (big data).

The main professional objective is to train physicists with both a broad and in-depth knowledge of their discipline. Not very widespread on the national territory outside of training of this type, the “Physics” course aims to provide extensive skills on both theoretical and experimental levels. The professional fields targeted are therefore multiple: on the one hand, training future physicist researchers, on the other hand, injecting into the economic and industrial fabric specialists in physical engineering and technical studies which are necessary to ensure Research and Development. Very diversified, the sectors targeted are in particular those of the optical, electronics, IT, aeronautics and space industries, energy, materials, telecommunications, but also equipment manufacturers, business services, Defense, Health: Operational skills in many areas of Physics; Development of research activities; Industrial development; Analysis and management of scientific projects; Ability to adapt compatible with current developments in research and industrial development activities. Implement scientific approaches in Physics in an academic or private research and development environment, in France or abroad.

Training through internships and projects is of great importance in the “Physics” course of the Master of Physics. Typically, the M1 offers a research internship in laboratories or industries lasting 7 weeks which can be extended to 2 months in the case of internships in companies or abroad. M2 internships of 4 to 6 months, rewarded, are carried out in a laboratory or company depending on the Research or Professional purpose of the M2 specialty.

The student, actor of his own training, is offered a modular structure for progressive specialization from the 2nd semester according to a coherent set of teaching units. THE choice is accompanied in semester 1 by a skills assessment.
