Degree in Physics
The Degree in Physics is a 4-year programme designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge to understand and analyse how the world works, from the smallest structures to the largest. The academic model at Universidad Europea is based on experiential learning, so you will be able to apply the reasoning and physics theory you learn to real projects and practice.
Our Bsc in physics is a broad programme that will allow you to further specialise when you graduate, either by entering the workforce or continuing your studies with masters programme. Subjects include: Quantum Technology, Nanotechnology, and Electronics.

Internships
Internships are a key part of your training. Gaining experience after what you learn in your degree is the best way to enter the job market. There are two types of internships, curricular (included in your syllabus) and extracurricular (which you can do on a voluntary basis).
To do a curricular internship in a company, you’ll need to have passed 50% of the credits and enrol on the course before you start work. These internships are monitored by the company and the internship professor, as well as interim and final reports for evaluation.
If you want to improve your work experience before completing your university studies, you can do an extracurricular internship. You can do them in any year, but remember that internships complement your studies, so the more knowledge you acquire throughout your degree, the more you’ll benefit from the internship experience.

What is the Degree in Physics?
The Degree in Physics is designed to meet the current demand for professionals in physics applied to the main productive sectors of the business world. Our specialist pathways, oriented towards electronics, computing and materials physics, cover the specialist areas that we consider to be most in demand today.
What do they teach you in physics?
As you would expect, you’ll be taught all the basic subjects that make up the scientific/technical basis of all physics professions. These will be complemented by other subjects that provide additional knowledge of applied physics, split into three branches of knowledge: Electronics, Materials and Computing and Data Analysis.
Is the Degree in Physics difficult?
If you’re really passionate about physics, you’ll obviously find it less difficult, but it would be a lie to say it’s easy.
What do I need to study the Degree in Physics?
The main thing is to have a passion for physics and a vocation for studying it. All your previous knowledge will help you, of course, and the basics of mathematics and physics are essential, but beyond that the university will provide you with the best resources and the best teachers to make understanding and learning what you’re passionate about and what makes you so curious as easy as possible, even though it’s difficult.
