BSc (Hons) Physics

Physics gives you the tools to understand the Universe at a fundamental level, from the smallest sub-atomic particles to the behaviour of stars and galaxies.
Discover the world of quantum mechanics, relativity, electromagnetism and condensed matter, and learn how physics is enabling breakthroughs in areas such as materials science, medical imaging and computing.

Develop the transferable skills to open up a world of job opportunities, leading to careers in research, engineering, medical physics, defence, teaching, finance and data analytics.
Your first year will focus on the foundations of physics, including classical mechanics, special relativity, waves, fields, thermodynamics and astronomy. You will also begin to develop your mathematical, experimental and programming skills.

In the second year you will deepen your understanding of modern physics, covering topics such as quantum mechanics, electromagnetism and atomic physics, as well as studying more advanced mathematics and numerical methods. You will carry out in-depth laboratory experiments and group projects, with the opportunity to work on problems suggested by our industrial, scientific and medical partners.

The third year completes your study of the core of physics with more advanced modules including nuclear and particle physics, thermodynamics, and condensed matter physics. You will also conduct open-ended laboratory investigations and have the option to take specialised modules such as medical physics.
