Overview
Study Physics with Nuclear Science at Liverpool and ensure you’re fully equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary for a successful career in nuclear-related industries. In addition to core physics, you’ll also study mathematics, computing and experimental physics. You will explore and apply fundamental principles that underpin modern physics, from electrodynamics and semiconductors to the startling conclusions of relativity and quantum mechanics, alongside the study of selected topics in the field of nuclear science. Our network of academic advisors and open-door policy ensures a friendly and supportive learning environment. Take your university experience even further on a paid year-long industry placement, or spend a year abroad at a partner university or our China campus. Throughout your course, you will discover links with many parts of the growing nuclear industry, including those involved with decommissioning and homeland security. Staff from these institutions will be involved in project work undertaken. 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. Your first year starts with a one-week project to familiarise you with the staff and other students. There will be two Maths modules in the first year, and one in the second year, 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 that you have mastered the full range of Physics concepts ahead of your final year.
