Master Physique — Préparation à l’agrégation : physique

For Master Physique — Préparation à l’agrégation : physique, the tuition fee is 292 USD per year.

Preparation a l'agregation: physique, a track of the Master Physique at Universite de Strasbourg, prepares students for the agregation, the competitive examination that qualifies successful candidates to teach physics at the secondary and post-secondary level in France. Students in this discipline review and deepen their knowledge across the full span of physics, including mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quantum physics, and optics, while also training in the experimental and pedagogical skills tested by the examination. Because the agregation covers both written and oral components, as well as laboratory demonstrations, coursework in an agregation preparation track typically combines advanced physics content with practice in explaining and demonstrating that content clearly, a skill distinct from research-oriented physics study. Students also work through past examination problems and refine their command of experimental techniques used in secondary and higher education teaching laboratories. Graduates who pass the agregation generally move into teaching positions within the French education system, at either the secondary level or in preparatory classes for the grandes ecoles, while the broader physics training also supports other technical and scientific careers for those who do not pursue teaching. This track runs as a two-year master's program taught in French at Universite de Strasbourg, in Strasbourg, France, beginning in September, with yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Students entering this discipline typically already hold a solid undergraduate foundation in physics and mathematics, since the agregation examination assumes broad command of the subject. Strasbourg's physics department situates the program within a university offering multiple physics tracks, giving agregation candidates access to coursework and laboratory resources shared with the wider Master Physique program.
