It is a rapidly developing field, continually producing fascinating results in many different fields of study. This programme is based on physics but includes content from chemistry and biology to give an important appreciation of how all the sciences have new effects to be observed and new applications to be discovered.AccreditationAccredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP) for the purpose of partially meeting the educational requirement for Chartered Physicist.
