The M1 course in fundamental physics offers general education intended to train students who master the main aspects of modern physics. It offers a progressive specialization organized around three main areas that reflect the organization of research in our UFR:

  • macroscopic physics and the interface with the living
  • quantum physics and nanosciences
  • the physics of two infinities – from the infinitely large to the infinitely large

    At the beginning of their M1, students are required to choose between these three themes, which naturally extend into the various standard M2 courses. The second semester is built around purely optional teaching units, allowing students to explore their preferred field in greater depth while developing a broad spectrum of skills and knowledge.


    The M1 training is based on theoretical courses, presenting the fundamental concepts and the practice of an analytical description of physics, and on a high-quality experimental platform benefiting from the contribution of skills, know-how and partially equipment from neighboring laboratories. This wealth of experimental teaching develops the acquisition of specific skills that are related to familiarity with standard experimental research instruments, an asset that can be reinvested in the context of a continuation in a thesis and then in a company.

    This university program is part of the Graduate Schools Earth Planets Universe, Innovative Materials and Quantum Technologies of Université Paris Cité, linking master's and doctoral courses to cutting-edge research laboratories.
