Evasion and retention are problems surrounding physics courses throughout Brazil. In this article, we present the results of an investigation that proposed to raise some of the reasons related to these phenomena. For this, interviews were made with students and teachers of the Licentiateship and Bachelor of Physics courses of Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto. For the study of this problem we assume Bourdieu’s Theory of the Education System, highlighting the various relationships of dominance that exist in the courses, which contributes to the high evasion and retention in this analysed University. Among the conclusions reached, after the analytical procedures of the investigative corpus, that is, the collected reports, we highlight: for the students these motives focus on the “complicated” personal relations with the teachers and the “accelerated” routine in the republics where they reside; For teachers, the main factor is related to the use of the Physics course as a “trampoline” for other courses, mainly Engineering.
