Physics is the study of the fundamental processes of our Universe, and its laws underpin the other natural sciences.
Our flexible BSc Physics programme reflects this central role. The programme covers all aspects of physics, from the very basics to the current frontiers of knowledge.
The early years of the programme are broad-based, providing a robust foundation for advanced physics and mathematics courses.
In later years you can specialise by taking courses from different fields based on your interests and career ambitions.
