Course summary
From gravitational waves to black holes, physics is key to unlocking the secrets of the universe. What will you discover? Physics will shape many of the radical solutions needed to tackle global issues. Be part of the revolution with our thought-provoking course accredited by the UK Institute of Physics. Not many universities can say they’ve been teaching physics since 1896. Or that they’re one of the birth places of string theory. Today we’re a hub for scientific excellence and home to academics leading the way in everything from materials for healthcare to the next generation of radiation detectors. Our courses are informed by our cutting-edge research. Not only will you hear about our work, but you’ll also have the chance to get involved with projects. A global reputation We’re recognised globally for our leading research, and we secure prestigious grants from the European Research Council and UK Funding Bodies. Our four research groups make an impact in different areas, whether it’s developing new theories of how liquids and solids work or exploring new materials for healthcare. Employability is a top priority for us. We’ll introduce you to our alumni to help you explore your options. And we run activities where you’ll take part in short consultancy projects. Fast forward a few years and you could be making breakthroughs that have the potential to save lives and our planet. This programme is accredited by the Institute of Physics.
