About this course
Bachelor of Science in Physics BSc, a physics degree exploring the laws that underpin the entire universe. Core topics include Data Analysis, Statistics, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The programme spans three years and includes a final-year project. The first year covers foundational concepts through Classical Mechanics and Relativity, Thermodynamics, and Mathematics for Physicists 1. The second year progresses with Modern Physics, Mathematics for Physicists 2, and Statistical Physics and Optics. The final year allows specialisation through advanced study in subjects such as Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Power, and Stars and Exoplanets, alongside the Year 3 Physics Project.
