Physics

Physics is a fundamental science which underpins our understanding of the world around us, from distant galaxies to the smallest particles. The knowledge and problem-solving skills of physicists are vital to new discoveries and advances in science and technology. This course offers the opportunity to study a combination of fundamental and applied physics alongside rigorous mathematics and computational training.

Teaching is informed by research, with the chance for students to work on real-world research projects alongside our academic staff. The four year MPhys course is designed for those seeking to develop thorough skills as an independent physicist. It features further in-depth study and significant project work.

Students may have the opportunity to contribute to researching and writing an academic paper.
