Knowledge and understanding of basic concepts of classical and modern physics. Apply knowledge and understanding to actual physical problems. Making judgments in further learning and in the problem solving phase. Ability to communicate the acquired knowledge and one's solvingstrategies. Ability to expand one's knowledge in pure and applied physics.

Lectures and exercises

A written part, involving the solution of three exercises, one per each main section of the course. if passed, it follows an oral exam, lasting approximately one hour, usually consisting of two or three questions,depending on the outcome of the written examination, chosen by the teacher, to verify the knowledge of the topics of the course and the ability to think critically about them.

This course explores topics closely related to one or more goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs)
