Physics

This programme will provide you with a range of transferable skills. Putting you at the forefront of modern physics working with academics on projects at CERN and international research centres. Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences. New concepts, such as quantum mechanics and relativity, are introduced at degree level in order to understand nature at the deepest level. These theories have profound philosophical implications because they challenge our view of the everyday world. At the same time they have a huge impact on society since they underpin the technological revolution. While studying one of the most intellectually satisfying disciplines, you will acquire transferable skills including numeracy, problem solving and an ability to reason clearly and communicate well. Physics degrees are highly prized in the flexible labour market of today and our graduates have excellent career opportunities in academic research, industrial research and development, teaching, computing, business and finance. This course is accredited by the Institute of Physics. This programme is accredited by the Institute of Physics, which means it satisfies the academic requirements for Chartered Physicist status. The Institute of Physics is the professional body for physics in the UK and Ireland. We’ve been awarded a Gold rating for educational excellence. Discover what you'll learn, what you'll study, and how you'll be taught and assessed. The first year starts with a one-week project to familiarise you with the staff and other students. There will be two maths modules in each of the first two years; these are designed to provide the mathematical skills required by physics students. Programme details and modules listed are illustrative only and subject to change. In year two you will broaden your understanding of physics, with modules designed to ensure you have mastered the full range of physics concepts.
