Course summary
Physics is the study of the fundamental forces of the Universe. It seeks to understand the nature of waves and particles, and the structure of matter. You'll study conditions from the freezing vacuum of space to the blistering-hot core of a neutron star. You'll investigate subjects like nanosystems, semiconductors, fusion plasmas, biophysics, and quantum computing. You'll develop advanced techniques for researching fundamental physics, scientific principles and methods. You'll learn key skills for analysing real-life problems, write scientific reports to industry standards, communicate complex concepts, and design and perform intricate experiments. You'll work with world-renowned physicists using sophisticated equipment to probe the nature of existence and push the boundaries of research. Facilities like our Astrocampus give you unprecedented opportunities to observe and experiment, helping you develop skills essential for higher-level research. Gain unique global experiences spending a year at one of our partner universities. Boost your confidence by immersing yourself in a different culture and gain valuable language skills for your CV.
