Physics (MPhys, 4 years)

The MPhys Physics degree is designed to give students a strong foundation in both theoretical and experimental physics. Throughout the program, you'll explore core topics like classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum physics, and thermodynamics, building a solid understanding of how the physical world works. The course also emphasizes practical skills, with lab work and research projects that help students develop problem-solving abilities and technical expertise.

In addition to the core sciences, students gain opportunities to specialize in areas like condensed matter, astrophysics, or particle physics. The program balances structured coursework with independent research, encouraging students to think critically and learn how to approach complex problems. The four-year structure allows for placements, internships, or time to work on innovative projects, helping students prepare for careers in research, industry, or further study. The course aims to develop well-rounded physicists ready to tackle real-world challenges.
