Unravel the universe's deepest mysteries with a degree in theoretical physics.
During this course, you'll gain a strong foundation across core physics disciplines. You'll explore theoretical and experimental physics, studying modules from our Physics BSc courses. You'll then specialise in theoretical physics and study:
- advanced electromagnetism
- advanced fluid dynamics
These modules are unique to our Theoretical Physics degrees.
You’ll gain hands-on experience in our high-spec facilities, gaining practical skills for your career. You'll work on projects, applying theoretical knowledge to practical challenges. These could include particle sensing, chemical detection, and other real-world applications.
You'll graduate with an accredited degree and an interdisciplinary skillset in-demand with employers. This course is also ideal for someone interested in research or further study in physics or mathematics.
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:
- Physics BSc
- Theoretical Physics BSc
- Physics with Astrophysics BSc
