Teaching
Teaching and learning
You’ll learn through a combination of lectures, laboratory sessions and tutorial classes. Your total teaching time will be around 20 hours per week, but you are expected to spend time on independent study and coursework or lab reports. Overall, you should be spending 30-40 hours on your studies each week.
Assessment
Assessment depends on the nature of the work being carried out. For example, if the module involves practical work only, the assessment will be based on laboratory reports. For non-practical modules you may be assessed by weekly coursework, termly assignments and an end-of-year examination.
Resources and facilities
The School offers excellent on-campus resources to aid your studies, including:
teaching laboratories
a rooftop observatory
a dedicated study space for physics students
professional research facilities for use in final-year projects.

Study options
Apply for this degree with any of the following options. Take care to use the correct UCAS code - it may not be possible to change your selection later.
MSci
Specialise further by applying for our intercollegiate Physics MSci, which shares fourth-year modules with other prestigious University of London institutions, including King’s College, University College London and Royal Holloway.
Year abroad
Go global and study abroad as part of your degree – apply for our Physics BSc or MSci with a Year Abroad. Queen Mary has links with universities in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia (partnerships vary for each degree programme).
Find out more about study abroad opportunities at Queen Mary and what the progression requirements are.
Additional Costs
If you choose to take intercollegiate 4th year modules at other London institutions, you’ll need to pay Tube and rail fares to attend classes.
