Physics with Theoretical Physics BSc (Hons)

Explore how the principles and laws of physics underpin most science and engineering disciplines on this three-year course.<br/><br/>Problems in physics can relate to phenomena on gigantic scales such as the cosmos, minutely small ones, and virtually any other scale in between.<br/><br/>Throughout this course, youll develop a large range of problem-solving skills that can also be applied to many other (seemingly unrelated) situations.<br/><br/>Youll receive a grounding in physics, mathematics, computational and experimental methods in preparation for advanced study or a career in the field.<br/><br/>This programme is particularly suited to those with a specific interest in mathematics and its application, with less emphasis on experimental work than our standard Physics courses.<br/><br/>Youll learn in a department at the forefront of research, guided by world-leading researchers with a high level of expertise in their specific field. Key topics covered during your first two years include electromagnetism, relativity and quantum physics.<br/><br/>Your third year provides opportunities to advance your knowledge across a wide range of optional modules. This work will allow you to take advantage of the diverse research specialisms within the department.<br/><br/>Your studies will culminate in a major project, carried out under supervision within one of our research groups.<br/><br/>**Professional accreditation**<br/><br/>This degree is professionally accredited by the **Institute of Physics (IOP)**.<br/><br/>With a professionally accredited degree, you’ll be able to demonstrate to employers that you have achieved an industry-recognised standard of competency. Professional accreditation also provides international recognition of your qualifications, which you can use to launch a career abroad.<br/><br/>Our BSc Physics courses partially satisfy the academic requirement for professional registration as a Chartered Physicist (CPhys). This is a highly respected qualification earned by professionals working in physics, which can lead to higher earning potential and better career prospects.<br/><br/>To gain Chartered status after you graduate, you’ll need to demonstrate that you have knowledge equivalent to an accredited integrated Master’s degree.
