BSc. (Hons) Physics

The B.S. in Physics asks you to understand science and math and use them to solve problems of practical importance to society. Our modern technology depends heavily on physics. The interest of physicists extends from the vast world of stars and galaxies to the minute world of atoms and elementary particles. Physicists did the pioneering work in the discovery and development of electrical and nuclear power, communication systems, solid state devices and integrated circuits, computers, jet propulsion, and interplanetary space navigation. Are you ready to search for more discoveries that will benefit society? We think so. Benefit from faculty-mentored research. Gain hands-on experience in problem-solving and scientific reasoning. Learn the basic building blocks and rules of the universe. Benefit from the selection of technical electives to get a minor in engineering physics, computer science, biology, or chemistry. You'll explore how the laws of physics underpin most science and engineering disciplines and build a thorough understanding of various physics, mathematics and experimental methods. This course will help you develop a large range of problem-solving skills that can also be applied to many other (seemingly unrelated) situations. Through a range of modules, laboratory work, and projects you'll advance your knowledge of topics including mechanics, relativity and quantum physics.

Career Path

You’ll also gain essential, transferable skills including report communication, team working and problem solving. They have gone into a wide variety of job roles including: Public Engagement of Science Officer Software architect NHS Scientist Training Programme Physicist Geophysicist Secondary School Physics Science Technician.
