Bachelor in Licence - Physique

Physics — Licence Physique — is a three-year bachelor-level degree taught in French at the Université de Tours (37) in Tours, France, with an intake in September and yearly tuition of 178 EUR. Physics is the fundamental science of matter, energy, space, and time. Bachelor-level programmes build from the ground up, covering classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, optics, and wave physics before introducing quantum mechanics and modern physics in later years. Mathematics plays a central role: students work extensively with calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra as the language of physical theory. Laboratory practicals are a core component of physics study, training students to design experiments, measure physical quantities, analyse data, and evaluate sources of uncertainty. Computational methods and numerical simulation are increasingly integrated into modern curricula. Students develop the ability to model physical systems and to connect theoretical predictions with experimental observation. Instruction is entirely in French. Graduates find employment in research and development across energy, electronics, aerospace, medical physics, and telecommunications sectors, as well as in education. Many continue to master's programmes in fundamental or applied physics, materials science, or engineering. The three-year Licence provides the mathematical and experimental foundation for careers that require rigorous quantitative analysis of the physical world.
