Course Overview

Physics is the fundamental science that underpins much of the technology we see around us. Modern communications, transport, and energy systems all originate from advances in our understanding of physics. Our Physics course includes a wide range of research-informed modules, from optics and thermodynamics to quantum mechanics, microscopy, lasers, and nuclear physics. Our BSc Physics course is recognized by the Institute of Physics (IOP) and prepares you for a challenging yet rewarding career in science. Industrial relevance and interdisciplinary collaboration is something we are passionate about in the Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, as we are closely connected with 40 technology-oriented companies based in close vicinity. So in each year of study, you are encouraged to work on industry guided projects with our industrial partners or other companies in the UK or Europe via (i) an optional four-week placement of a minimum of 120 hours in your first year of study, (ii) a second-year Experiential Learning module, which offers a five-week placement of 175 hours, and (iii) your final-year research project supervised by an academic member of staff or industrial partner, or both. In addition, the BSc Physics course is available with an optional placement year that can be taken between your second and third year of study.
