Licence Physique, Parcours : physique et ses interactions

From the nanoscopic to the macroscopic.

After a first year in one of the two scientific portals: Marie Curie or René Descartes, the last two years of the "Physics and its Interactions" programme offer a broad knowledge of the concepts and principles of physics. It allows students to make analogies between the major thematic fields of physics and associated disciplines, in order to tackle complex problems or systems.

This course provides both a solid foundation of knowledge in fundamental physics and offers, through specific courses, opportunities in many fields of applied physics, such as nanosciences, materials, optics, microelectronics, nuclear, bio-physics or medical imaging, etc...

The "Physics and its Interactions" course is particularly well suited to further study in Masters in Physics, advanced applied courses, transdisciplinary courses or in the major schools of applied physics.

Access to the "Physics and its interactions" course of the Physics Licence requires validation of the L2 Physics of Aix-Marseille University or a diploma judged equivalent by the Licence pedagogical committee.

Admission to the L3 "Physics and its Interactions" is also possible for students from CPGE, engineering schools, or IUT upon examination of the application.

The "Physics and its interactions" course of the Physics Licence requires very good skills in fundamental and applied physics. A good level in mathematics is also necessary.

Because of its vocation of fundamental training leading in particular to research careers, the Physics Licence offers the possibility of carrying out experiments and internships in laboratories at all levels of the training.

For this, the Physics Licence relies on the large and diversified potential of the Physics Department of the University of Aix-Marseille (more than 150 teacher-researchers, about twenty engineers and technicians). The teacher-researchers, actors of this training, allow to associate the fundamental teachings with the stakes of the current Research and its applications beyond the public sector.

The "Physics and its Interactions" course provides students with the knowledge to solve a complex or interdisciplinary physical problem by exploiting analogies between different fields of physics and by mastering a wide range of experimental techniques and analytical methods.

The specific skills developed in this course are :

• To know the main analytical tools and methods of experimental physics and their fields of application;
• Apply the methods developed in physics to various problems by mastering transversal knowledge and know-how;
• Develop a transdisciplinary approach between physics and other scientific disciplines;
• To approach physical situations in their entirety through a macroscopic approach.

The "Physics and its interactions" programme does not include a compulsory internship. However, a non-credited internship in one of the laboratories associated with the course may be carried out under an agreement between the university and the host organisation.

The teaching provided in the "Physics and its interactions" programme includes lectures (80 students maximum), tutorials and practical work in small groups. The course places great emphasis on the use of innovative teaching methods and active pedagogy (project or problem-based approaches, flipped classes), as well as on ICT (online resources and tools for communicating with students, assessment tests, digital remediation).
