Overview
Many technologies from the simple lightbulb through to all aspects of the modern smartphone would simply not exist without the profound connection behind engineering physics. It is a marvel of modern manufacture that humanity can reliably fabricate the billions of transistors found on modern CPUs.
Our Engineering Physics BSc (Hons) degree builds on the core physics degree and adds to it the study of modern engineering methods, allowing students to immerse themselves in innovative projects with the support of brand-new, world-class facilities and equipment.
The opening of STEMLab provides students on our Engineering Physics BSc (Hons) degree with unique opportunities to undertake innovative engineering physics projects supported by facilities across disciplines such as electrical engineering, materials science and additive manufacture – the possibilities are endless.
