The objective of the Bachelor's Degree in Physics and Mathematics is to train professionals with a solid preparation in two basic branches of science: Physics and Mathematics. The curriculum of the Bachelor's Degree consists of subjects in the two scientific disciplines mentioned above, which can be either compulsory or elective subjects. compulsory subjects or elective subjects. The latter, chosen according to the student's inclinations with the help of a faculty advisor, gives the course an orientation towards Physics or Mathematics.

The rigorous study of Physics and Mathematics enables the student to understand the structure, as well as the fundamental properties and general laws that govern the material world around us. In addition, it gives the student a powerful tool for the further study of:

• The general scientific problems posed by these two scientific disciplines (pure research).
• Practical problems related to economic production, the daily life of man, and problems common to other disciplines related to these sciences (applied research, both in Physics and Mathematics).

The degree is completed in eight semesters and to obtain the degree it is necessary to perform Social Service and opt for one of the five-degree modalities, among them the conventional thesis. Although the original outline of the study plan has not undergone fundamental changes, since it continues to place great emphasis on a solid basic preparation in physics and mathematics through a cadre of compulsory subjects, it has been enriched and updated with courses that respond to a greater diversity of student concerns. These are handled as options and are as follows:

• Theoretical or Experimental Physics.
• Mathematics.
• Educational Mathematics.
• Applied Mathematics.
• Nuclear Engineering.

This allows the student to design, with the advice of his or her advisor professor, a work program that combined with the compulsory subjects provides the graduate with preparation according to his or her particular interest and vocation.

Applicants for admission to the Bachelor's degree have better expectations for optimal professional performance if they possess the following qualities:

• Taste for abstract reasoning.
• Ability to concentrate.
• Creativity, scientific curiosity, capacity for analysis and synthesis.
• Ability to work as part of a team or in an interdisciplinary manner.
• Discipline and perseverance in work.

Graduates with a Bachelor's Degree in Physics and Mathematics have a solid background in physics and mathematics and are accustomed to the analysis of complex situations and the search for original solutions. This allows him/her to:

• Understand, based on the rigorous study of Physics and Mathematics, the structures, fundamental properties, and general laws that govern the world around us.
• To develop teaching activities at the upper secondary and higher levels.
• Collaborate in scientific research and technological development tasks.
• Work in the industry in many activities traditionally reserved for engineers: instrumentation and control, statistical control, computing and applications, engineering processes, metrology, etc.
• Apply the knowledge of mathematics to design, through the computer, statistical programs of production, population, natural resources evaluation, etc. As well as all the studies and works of administrative-technical character.
• Pursue specialization or postgraduate studies in a wide range of fields: pure or applied sciences, materials, communications, energy, robotics, computing and informatics, biophysics, biomedicine, metrology, etc. At this level, they can carry out basic or applied research, and technological development and offer consultancy services to institutions and companies.
• Study and solve original technical problems that require a basic knowledge of the exact sciences.

The requirements to become a student at the Institute are:

1. To comply with the academic background and other requirements indicated in the respective call for applications.
2. To take the admission exam for higher education.
3. To be selected for admission.

One of the natural fields of work for the graduate in Physics and Mathematics is the in Physics and Mathematics is the teaching of: Secondary and Higher Education Centers. However, the basics of their preparation and the wide range of specialization options they can choose from, allow them to work successfully (after a short period of familiarization with the work problems) in:

• Research and technological development centers.
• Official dependencies: SEP, SCT, SECOFI, IMSS, ISSSTE, etc.
• Decentralized organizations: IMP, ININ, CFE, etc.
• Official and private banks.
• Computer centers.
• Public and private companies of diverse business lines: Automotive, capital or consumer goods, energy, communications, food, electronics, etc.
• Self-employment.
• The catalog of positions currently occupied by E.S.F.F. graduates is extremely broad.
