Our MPhys Engineering Physics degree applies physical principles to engineering and technology, equipping you with the fundamentals of physics and drawing on Loughboroughs well-established expertise in engineering to help you engineer solutions to real-world problems.<br/><br/>This degree combines the core physics course with streamed engineering content (selected at the end of Year 1) to ensure a strong development in your chosen engineering specialisation, with a flavour easily recognisable to employers. We offer streams in materials engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical and manufacturing engineering.<br/><br/>Whats the difference between MPhys and BSc?<br/>Our MPhys programmes offer a competitive edge in the job market due to their advanced content, highlighting commitment and specialized knowledge. The MPhys programmes include an extended research project, allowing deep exploration and potential contributions to human knowledge. For careers needing deep physics understanding and research capability, an MPhys bolsters prospects. While a BSc partially meets Chartered Physicist and Chartered Scientist requirements, MPhys fully satisfies them.
