Physics
Department

The Program "Energies of the 21st century" is jointly organised by the Mechanics and Physics Departments.

Objectives :
The aim of the program is to give the fundamental scientific concepts needed for the developments of non fossile energies such as nuclear energies or renewable energies. This a multi-disciplinary program with courses in physics, computer science, applied maths, economy and social sciences

Prerequisites: those of each course
