MPhys Physics with Biophysics
About this course
MPhys in Physics with Biophysics, a physics degree centred on the study of biological systems and modern physical principles. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, and Global & Comparative Perspective. The course features an independent project and dissertation linked to the department's research groups. The first year covers core foundations through Physics of Everyday Life, Mathematics Skills, Computational Data Analysis, and Experimental Physics. The second year introduces concepts in living systems and quantum physics through The Physics of Living Systems, From Fields to Quanta, Mathematics for Physicists, and Experimental Physics II. The third year focuses on advanced topics such as Nuclear and High Energy Particle Physics, The Biophysics of Cells and Tissues, Soft Matter, and States of Matter alongside professional skills development. Optional modules allow students to explore areas like Electromagnetism II, Nanostructures and Graphene Science, Galaxies and High Energy Astrophysics, and Fluid Dynamics in Physics and Astronomy.
