Physics BSc Honours

Explore the fundamental laws of the universe, from sub-atomic particles to astrophysics. Study physics in the natural universe with the guidance of our world-leading academics. During your three-year Physics BSc, you’ll study: relativity, quantum mechanics, particle physics, physics in emerging technologies, cutting edge experimental techniques, e.g. cryogenics and material science experiments. You’ll gain hands-on experience in our refurbished, high-spec laboratories, designed to reflect modern research environments. We've invested £2.7 million in our facilities, with specialist spaces such as a dark lab and a cryogenics lab, alongside large, state-of-the-art teaching laboratory equipped with industry-standard equipment. You won’t just observe experiments - you’ll design, test and troubleshoot them yourself, building the practical confidence and technical expertise that employers and research teams value. By the end of your degree, you’ll have a strong understanding of physics and advanced mathematics as well as skills in coding and communications. You'll be prepared for a range of careers in research, industry, and beyond.
