General Information
Description

The Bachelor's Degree in Physics is designed as a generalist degree with excellent basic training in all branches of physics and detailed specific knowledge in climate change and advanced materials. The training offered in the degree is oriented, on one hand, toward the direct incorporation of graduates into the regional and national productive structure and the educational sector. On the other hand, it is oriented toward their incorporation into postgraduate and subsequently doctoral programs in diverse areas, such as the Physics of new materials, Earth Physics, or quantum computing, which are at the forefront of the field of study, thus facilitating our graduates' access to the regional and national research structure.

Physics is a necessary field of knowledge for understanding the basic principles of natural phenomena and their global relationships with precision, through critical reasoning and creativity. It investigates the complexity of the universe to discover how and why it works, including areas such as astronomy, mechanics, electromagnetism, relativity, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, optics, climate, as well as modern computing and data analysis technologies. It is a fundamental subject in engineering and science studies. Therefore, training in Physics covers everything from the subatomic scale, passing through biology, to the cosmological scale, addressing with curiosity the ultimate causes of the laws of nature.

The main educational objective of the Physics degree is to graduate students with solid preparation at the forefront of knowledge in current areas of Physics, such as those related to climate change and energy, research into advanced materials, Quantum Physics, or Particle Physics. Our graduates will possess significant background in basic and applied science, and very specific and useful technical capacities, skills, and knowledge for their subsequent professional career, whether in research, industry, administration, or teaching.

Furthermore, we aim for the training received to allow them to appreciate the relevance of the role that Physics plays in the science and technological development of our society, and to instill in the student a vision of Physics as an integral part of Education and culture that allows them to recognize its presence in Nature through Science, Technology, and Art.

Access and Registration

Students who wish to begin official degree studies at the University of Castilla-La Mancha may request it through any of the access routes provided for in current regulations.

In the event that they want to pursue direct enrollment studies, they may formalize their enrollment directly in the degrees designated for each academic year and within the established deadlines.

For the rest of the studies, you must pre-register through our Virtual Secretariat within the established deadlines, and must attach the appropriate documentation in each case through the computer application.

If they wish to participate in the readmission processes, they must request it every time there is a new publication of lists and always for options with more preference than the one awarded.

If you want more information about pre-registration, consult our Pre-registration Guide.

At the time of admission, the student will also receive a registration appointment that can be changed once through our Virtual Secretariat. If you do not formalize your registration within the established period, you will lose your assigned place and it will be offered to students on the waiting list.

Full-time first-year students will enroll in a number of credits no greater than 60 and no less than 48. If their enrollment is part-time, they must enroll in 30 credits. The first-year subjects that are recognized will count for the aforementioned purposes.

The registration fees will depend on the degree of experimental nature of the chosen studies, the number of times each subject is enrolled, the possible credits recognized and the possible exemptions or enrollment bonuses that must be accredited at the time of formalization.

If the student has applied or is going to apply for a scholarship from the general call for aid for university studies of the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, they must indicate this at the time of registration, in which case they will only pay the secretarial fees. They may also carry out the payment of the registration fee in one go or split it into a maximum of 10 payments.

If you want more information about registration, consult the Registration Guide.
