About this course

BSc in Physics. Core topics include programming, microelectronics, statistics, and mathematical modelling. This three-year programme offers the opportunity to transfer to an integrated master's (MPhys) at the end of the second year, subject to meeting academic requirements. The degree culminates in a physics project module, allowing students to apply their knowledge to an independent investigation.
