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.


Why study Physics BSc at Newcastle?


You’ll learn in a supportive, people-focused environment that helps you thrive from day one:


  • you’ll benefit from our dedicated Transition team, who'll help you move confidently from school to university-level study, so you can settle in quickly and succeed
  • high levels of contact time mean you’ll spend more time learning with others
  • our academic staff are friendly, approachable, and committed to your progress
  • you’ll be taught by recognised researchers in astrophysics, quantum matter, cosmology, and emerging technology and materials - they bring fresh ideas into the classroom and support you throughout your degree


Flexible degree structure


Our flexible degree structure allows you to tailor your studies. All students follow the same curriculum in Stage 1, with specialisations beginning in Stage 2. You can transfer between Physics disciplines until the end of Stage 1. You can also switch between the BSc and MPhys of your chosen discipline until the end of Stage 2:


You'll graduate with an accredited degree and an interdisciplinary skillset in-demand with employers. This course is also ideal for someone who is interested in pursuing research or further study in physics or mathematics.
