Physics BSc (Hons)

Explore the laws that underpin the entire universe and experience studying in another country with BSc Physics (International Study). From quantum interactions of sub-atomic particles to the vast celestial bodies that make up the night sky, youll gain a firm grounding in core physics in a friendly and supportive environment.<br/><br/>Learn about quantum mechanics, optics and particle physics while building problem-solving, teamwork and experimental skills. Enjoy a year at a partner university overseas for a global perspective on the subject and broaden your career opportunities.<br/><br/>Youll develop a broad understanding of the laws that make up the natural world. Our academics are global experts in their fields and will help you step up to university-level physics. Choose from topics such as quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, chaos and dynamical systems and the life and death of stars. You’ll benefit from using state-of-the-art study spaces, computing suites and laboratories.<br/><br/>Our research spaces include our own particle accelerators, the MC40 cyclotron for charged particles and HF-ADNeF, the most intense accelerator driven neutron source worldwide, as well as labs used for the construction of the detectors and electronics in experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN.<br/><br/>Spend your third year studying physics at an international university, immerse yourself in another culture and build language skills for working abroad. As a Birmingham Physics graduate, youll have a broad range of options for the future.
