On this BSc Physics degree you'll study time and space as you explore the physical theories that help us understand our universe. You'll also gain advanced analytical, mathematical and computing skills, valued by recruiters in a wide range of professions.
You’ll immerse yourself in fascinating topics such as quantum mechanics, special relativity and the evolution of galaxies.
You'll develop the skills to become a physicist as you choose from a range of optional modules in every year of study. You'll carry out real research projects. Recent examples have involved making high-temperature superconductors, building a laser and determining the mass of cluster galaxies.
General Relativity is another popular study option - we are one of only a few UK universities to offer this as part of an undergraduate physics degree.
You can also choose a minor subject in an unrelated field alongside your main degree.
The first 2 years of this programme are the same as the physics master's, which means you can switch to the 4-year MPhys degree.
Physics offers an academic scholarship scheme worth up to £20,000, plus an unconditional offer based on a competitive exam taken at applicant visit days.
