Natural Sciences (Physics) (Q64-PHY) Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
Course Overview - Natural Sciences (Physics) (Q64-PHY) Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
This Society for Natural Sciences-accredited and IOP-recognised physics route through our BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences (Q64) takes you from broad scientific principles to cutting-edge physics. You’ll apply classical, quantum, and relativistic concepts to phenomena from subatomic particles to black holes, using mathematical tools and experimental methods. Practical investigations and data analysis develop your analytical and problem-solving skills. This route equips you for careers or further study in physics, research, engineering, or technology, providing a solid foundation in un...
This Society for Natural Sciences-accredited and IOP-recognised physics route through our BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences (Q64) takes you from broad scientific principles to cutting-edge physics. You’ll apply classical, quantum, and relativistic concepts to phenomena from subatomic particles to black holes, using mathematical tools and experimental methods. Practical investigations and data analysis develop your analytical and problem-solving skills. This route equips you for careers or further study in physics, research, engineering, or technology, providing a solid foundation in understanding the physical world at both the smallest and largest scales, as well as the skills to explore it quantitatively and rigorously.
Key features of the course
• Gain mathematical and data-handling skills, plus apply models and analyse data using a modern programming language
• Develop investigative and laboratory skills using our state-of-the-art, multi-award-winning OpenSTEM Labs
• Extend your understanding of core physics concepts and processes that underpin a wide range of phenomena
• Accredited by the Society for Natural Sciences (SNS) and recognised by the Institute of Physics (IOP)
