Join a University ranked in the UK top five for Physics research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning.
This course provides an exciting intellectual challenge from the outset. In year one, you will study physics, mathematics and philosophical topics such as metaphysics, the theory of knowledge and ethics.
Subsequent years allow you to study the overlap between physics and philosophy in depth. You will study the philosophy of science and the foundations and philosophy of physics, as well as optional units that allow you to pursue further philosophical interests.
This course allows you to develop a physicist's broad range of skills, including problem-solving, numeracy and communication. You will supplement these skills with a philosopher's ability to rigorously analyse complex texts and form coherent arguments regarding significant contemporary scientific and societal issues.
In your third year, you will undertake a major project or dissertation within Physics, conducting original investigations as part of one of our research themes; as well as having the opportunity to undertake an extended independent essay project in Philosophy on a topic of your choosing, supervised by a member of staff with relevant expertise.
Join our friendly department with a very active, award-winning student society. We support you to develop a broad range of experimental, theoretical and analytical skills, as well as to develop your understanding of how to apply your skills more widely. These are vital for a career in research or industry.
Our graduates have an excellent record of employment across a range of industries. This is a testament to the value that employers place on these skills.
Think Big bursaries of £3,000 are available to support first-year international undergraduate students in this subject area.
