Modules

In year one, you'll learn about cutting-edge research topics spanning from medical physics, nanoscience, and astronomy, and build your skills in programming using the Python language. In year two, you'll study core theories of physics, as well as develop your lab skills and experimental techniques. The third year goes into depth on computer science, starting with a deep dive into computer programming using the Python language. Expanding on your knowledge of core physics, your fourth year will cover atomic, nuclear, particle and solid-state physics. You'll work in pairs on a research project, supported by a supervisor. You'll design and carry out your own experiments, calculations or computational work. In your final year you'll work on a large independent project in a topic of current research interest. You'll study synoptic modules in this year, which means you’ll be assessed on your learning across these throughout the year. These modules use student-centred activities to help to develop your professional skills.
