Double Bachelor´s Degree in Mathematics and Physics

• Minimum number of ECTS enrollment credits per student and school period

  1.- El estudiantado de primer curso por primera vez a tiempo completo tiene que matricular 66 créditos.
  2.- Continuación de estudios: libre con un máximo de 90 créditos.

• Tutorial action and reception

  The USC has a programme of student tutors for Bachelor’s degrees, so that students in their final years, after receiving training provided by the University, carry out orientation tasks for students who are beginning their studies.

• Title suspension rules

  When an official degree is suspended, the USC guarantees the effective development of the studies started by its students until their completion. To this end, the Governing Council approves the criteria related, among others, to:
  • The admission of new enrolments in the degree programme.
  • The gradual suppression of teaching.
  • If the extinct degree is replaced by another similar one (modifying the nature of the degree), it establishes the conditions that facilitate students’ continuity of studies in the new degree and the equivalences between the subjects of one and the other plan.

• Access and admission rules

  The general requirements for access to degree programmes are set out in article 15 of Royal Decree 822/2021, of 28 September, which establishes the organisation of university education and the procedure for quality assurance. More information can be found at the following link:

  In addition, the USC has a University Information Office (OIU) https://www.usc.gal/en/node/44321 , through which specific queries are answered.

This double Bachelor’s Degree aims to provide students with the rigour, capacity for abstraction and logical reasoning that characterises mathematical thinking while acquiring the necessary skills to develop models applied to the resolution of physical problems.
Experimental and computational training will provide them with tools to verify the validity of the proposed models, as well as evidence for the development of others.

Mobility

The mobility of own and host students is regulated at the USC by the Regulations on Inter-University Student Exchanges, approved by the Governing Council on 26.10.2012, and amended in 2019, the content of which can be consulted at the following link:

• Graduates profile

  The set of competences acquired from the two degrees will provide these students with an even more versatile profile, broadening the fields in which they can develop professionally by having access to the labour market of mathematicians and physicists.

In order to accredit that students have acquired the competences established in the two degrees, two Final Dissertations will be carried out, which will be governed by the general regulations and those of each centre. An attempt will be made to ensure that there is a relationship between the subject matter of the two Final Dissertations with a view to greater integration of the studies.
In addition, an attempt will be made to offer subjects that involve collaborative lines of research between the two degrees and will be co-directed, whenever possible, by Chemistry and Biology lecturers; the aim is to guarantee initiation in research from the complementary perspective of the two disciplines.
