This double Degree is intended to bestow the students on the rigour, abstraction capacity and logical reasoning that is characterised by the mathematical thinking while, at the same time, they are acquiring the skills needed for the elaboration of models applied to the resolution of physical problems. The experimental and computing formation will provide the student tools in order to verify the validity of the models proposed just as the indications for the creation of others. The set of acquired skills from both degrees will provide the students a profile even more versatile, thus expanding the areas in which they can be improved professionally because they will have access in the labour marker of the mathematicians and physicians.

Students will take 34.5 elective credits, at least 4.5 to be chosen from the elective subjects offered in the Degree in Physics and 6 from those offered in the Degree in Mathematics. It will not be necessary to take the rest of the electives of each degree, 22.5 in the Degree in Physics and 30 in the Degree in Mathematics, as the minimum required skills are covered by the skills of the compulsory subjects of the complementary degree in each case.

The USC has a student tutor program for undergraduate programs. Final-year students, following training provided by the University, provide guidance to students beginning their studies.

Student tutor program information:

Student tutor program

When an official degree is suspended, the USC guarantees the proper and effective development of the courses students have begun until their completion. To this end, the Governing Council approves the criteria related to, among others, the following:
• The admission of new students to the degree program.
• The gradual phasing out of teaching.
• If the discontinued degree is replaced by a similar one (modifying the nature of the degree), it establishes the conditions that facilitate students' continued studies in the new degree program and the equivalences between the subjects of both programs.

Access to Bachelor’s Degree programmes is granted to students with the following degrees/ diplomas or studies, or any other recognized as equivalent to these:
A.1. Spanish Bachiller, European Baccalaureate or International Baccalaureate.
A.2. Baccalaureate from European Union Member States’ education systems or other countries withinternational agreements.
A.3. Advanced Technician in Vocational Training, Advanced Technician in Plastic Arts and Design orAdvanced Technician in Sports Education, from the Spanish Education System.
A.4.Studies carried out in European Union Member States or in other countries with international reciprocal agreements which meet the academic requirements in those States to access their university study programmes.
A.5. Official Spanish university degrees of Diplomado, Arquitecto Técnico, Ingeniero Técnico, Licenciado, Arquitecto, Ingeniero, Graduado or Máster Universitario.
A.6. Partial (foreign or Spanish) university studies.
Access to Bachelor’s Degree programmes is also possible for:
B.1. People over twenty-five after successfully passing a specific access test.
B.2. People over forty with work or professional experience related to a university field of knowledge.
B.3. People over forty-five after successfully passing a specific access test.
Likewise, access to Bachelor’s Degree programmes is granted to:
C.1. People meeting the requirements to enter university according to the Spanish Education System regulations prior to Ley Orgánica 8/2013, of December 9.

The Faculty of Mathematics has 10 rooms with different capacity and with teaching equipment. Furthermore, it has five computing rooms used in teaching and one is intended to the free access for the student. There are 4 video conferencing rooms reserved for education. Moreover, it uses external facilities such as Astronomical Observatory.

There are a library, study rooms and places reversed for the realisation of group works. The library offers more than 250 reading posts.

The Faculty of Physics has 11 teaching rooms with different capacity. In order to acquire practical education, the faculty offers several laboratories: General Physics, Quantum Physics, Mechanics and Waves, Thermology, Electronics, Solid State, Electromagnetism, Electrodynamics, Nuclear Physics and Optics. Moreover, it has a computing room for teaching with computers.

There are also places reserved for the students, for instance one computing room of free access with computers.

The centre has a Library Intercentros, shared with the faculty of Optics and Optometry and it has more than 140 reading posts.

It is important also to mention that from every place in both Universities there is wireless Internet connection.

This double degree aims to equip students with the rigor, abstract thinking, and logical reasoning that characterize mathematical thinking, while also acquiring the skills necessary to develop models for solving physical problems.

Experimental and computational training will provide them with tools to verify the validity of proposed models, as well as evidence for developing new ones.

That students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in an area of ​​study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education and is typically at a level that, while supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the forefront of their field of study;

That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills typically demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of ​​study;

That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their area of ​​study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant social, scientific, or ethical issues;

That students can communicate information, ideas, problems, and solutions to both specialized and non-specialized audiences;

That students have developed the learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.

Mobility

Student mobility is regulated by the "Regulations on Interuniversity Exchanges." The Office of Foreign Affairs manages both national (SICUE), European (ERASMUS), and non-EU exchange programs (exchanges with Latin American countries or English-speaking countries):

Internships

The Degree in Physics includes the possibility of completing an optional 6-credit internship subject.

Two final degree projects will be completed, corresponding to each of the double degree qualifications.
