Study Mode

On Campus

Compulsory modules in the Year 1 provide a firm foundation in quantum and classical physics, underpinned by mathematics and a practical skills module which includes computing skills training. You will also take a module in practical mathematics.

Year 2 includes compulsory modules in quantum physics and its application to atoms and molecules, in statistical thermodynamics and in electromagnetic theory, along with further mathematics. The quantum and condensed matter elements of the core are completed in Year 3.

The Theoretical Physics degree does include practical work including computing and mathematics.

Year 3 also includes optional modules to develop further and enhance knowledge of a range of physics topics.

This course is offered both as a three-year BSc and a four-year MSci, with common structures and subjects for the first two years. Transfer between BSc and MSci is possible, however the additional fourth year of the MSci course allows for a greater depth of study and we recommend you apply for an MSci initially, as this keeps more options open.
