We have designed our Physics BSc to give you a broad knowledge of all of the fundamental aspects of physics, you will study subjects such as relativity, quantum mechanics, fields and waves, electromagnetism, nuclear and particle physics, at first you will follow a set programme, but later in the course there is scope for you to pursue your own interests in greater depth, problem solving and project work is an important part of this course and you’ll learn about team work, group organisation and the skills of oral and poster presentations, we also encourage you to work with a school, to experience teaching and develop the skill of presenting information to non-experts.
You’ll be assigned a personal tutor to support your development and our Department encourages an atmosphere in which students feel able to easily approach academic staff, our Student-Staff Liaison Committee provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and feedback on teaching, staff and students are members of the Maxwell Society, which is the Department of Physics’ social and lecture society.
