Modules

The first two years of your course focus on your knowledge in Physics, while your third year will advance your computational skills. You can apply these to your physics research project in the final year. 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 final 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.
