One of the subjects.
Is that Physical Chemistry?
I'm a bit confused with 'FISICO' here.
This is probably obvious, but my brain is fried right now from too many hours on the computer.
Thanks in advance.

Chemistry and Physics Theory
"Chemistry and Physics Theory" would be the correct translation!
In the high school curriculum in Portugal Chemistry and Physics are merged into one subject, with half of the school year being dedicated to each one of them, thus the name: 'Fisico-quimica'! You usually have to do it for two years at high school :)

For a more international approach - you could always put the literal suggestion in brackets but I studied it as Physical Science

In my school curriculum we had Physical Science ( 6 months Physics, 6 months Chemistry) and then Biolofy as a seperate subject - so just a suggestion

which should of course be Biology!

Theoretical Physical Chemestry
MLAcevedo-Miranda is right about the common use of F-Q (grade school stuff). The usual name for "Physical Chemistry" in Pt is Química Física, hence my guess.

Thanks to both. I got it right in the entry and wrong in the heading. By th way, is there a way of proofing contributions to Kudoz?

Physical chemistry is a branch of chemistry. Other branches are organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, coordination chemistry, etc.
FISICO-QUIMICA PRATICA I
I appreciate it.
