Course programme
You take core physics modules in topics including:
- Quantum and Classical Worlds
- Optics, Gravitation and Astronomy
- Electricity and Magnetism
- Quantum mechanics
- Physics of Waves
- Mechanics and Thermodynamics.
You develop the mathematical skills required for a quantitative understanding of physics. Key skills are developed alongside and integrated within these courses to expand your knowledge of computers, data analysis and presentational skills. The laboratory is central to your studies where you learn to design experiments and develop practical skills. A global challenge module provides opportunity to tackle real world problems in an interdisciplinary team. Transfer between most physics courses - including the MPhys and BSc courses - is possible up to the end of the second year.
Final Honours YearYou take advanced theoretical, practical and technological topics spanning the wide range of modern physics, for example:
- Nuclear and Particle Physics
- Advanced Quantum Mechanics
- Matter at Extremes
- Physics-based Technologies
- Numerical Modelling and Simulation.
You plan and carry out your final year project in consultation with a supervisor. Examples of recent final-year projects include:
- Mono-exponential Diffusion Weighted Imaging of the Breast
- Quantum Collapse and Revival
- Nanoparticle Behaviour at Liquid Interfaces in a Magnetic Field.
- Optical Tweezing: Moving Objects with Light.
