The purpose of this study is to diagnose student concepts in environmental physics courses. This study has used a mixed method. Data has been obtained from interviews, observations, questionnaires, and tests. Study subjects were 78 physics education students who had passed environmental physics courses and 4 lecturers. The results of the study have shown that the chapter in the bad category is the chapter “External factors that influence life on earth”. This answered with the percentage of students who answered correctly there were 44.8. And the chapter “Association of physical principles with soil characteristics” is also in the bad category with a percentage of 46.2. This study has been able to provide a description of the material content that is not understood by students in experimental physics subjects, especially related to the concept of physics.
