Physics (includes foundation year)

Physics is the science that seeks to understand the fundamental laws governing matter, energy, space and time. It is a discipline whose questions range from the behaviour of subatomic particles and the forces that hold nuclei together to the large-scale structure of the universe and the nature of dark matter and dark energy. The mathematical and analytical tools that physics develops are among the most powerful available in any discipline, and they underpin not only other branches of science but also the technologies, from semiconductors and medical imaging to telecommunications and computing, that define the modern world. At Aberystwyth University, this four-year degree includes a foundation year accredited by the Institute of Physics, designed to support students who have the potential and motivation for physics but who may not meet the typical entry requirements for direct entry to t
