Physics with Renewable Energy Science BSc (Hons)

Physics involves the exploration of nature in the broadest possible sense. Physicists discover how the universe behaves and use that knowledge for the benefit of humanity.<br/><br/>Energy and how we use it is one of the biggest challenges facing our planet. This course will teach you how to apply physics to improve and maximise energy efficiency.<br/><br/>In Levels 1 and 2, youll study modules within physics. Youll develop a deep understanding of fundamental physics, from astronomical phenomena to quantum mechanics.<br/><br/>As the course progresses, youll gain knowledge in classical physics as well as advancements in modern physics, and apply this knowledge to renewable energy science. In your final year, youll undertake an independent research project related to renewables.<br/><br/>Our Physics Society runs regular social events. They have organised trips to CERN, Munich, and Amsterdam as well as the annual Physics Ball. You can meet with students from all year groups to help guide you through the more challenging aspects of the course. <br/><br/>We are the only Scottish university taking part in the CMS Collaboration, a major experiment at the Large Hadron Collider CERN. Our students have had the opportunity to visit the site during their studies.

The University of Dundee is on Scotland's east coast in the vibrant city of Dundee—rich in history and culture and full of cafes, restaurants, shops, and bars.<br/><br/>The main campus in the West End was named the best place to live in Scotland in 2024 (The Sunday Times). Dundee has lower living costs than many UK cities, and the University offers scholarships and bursaries. Excellent road and rail links make travel easy.<br/><br/>Founded in 1881, the University is globally known for excellence in life sciences, medicine, dentistry, engineering, and art & design.<br/><br/>Student Services support academic success and personal well-being. You'll graduate career-ready—91% of students are in work or further study within 15 months (HESA 2024).<br/><br/>With over 150 clubs and societies, from mountaineering to musicals, there's something for everyone. All student accommodation is self-catered, with en-suite, furnished single rooms.
