Our Physics curriculum ensures all students master essential physics and mathematics fundamentals, aligned with the Institute of Physics (IOP) core requirements. The program covers key areas including classical mechanics, electromagnetic theory, wave phenomena, special relativity, thermodynamics, and quantum physics. Opting for the Physics MPhys degree provides access to the most extensive selection of specialized modules each year. At Leicester, physics students develop a deep understanding of contemporary physics' breadth and significance, along with proficiency in applying mathematical, computational, and experimental techniques to address practical challenges. The curriculum explores foundational physics concepts ranging from classical mechanics and field theory to relativity and particle physics. Through elective modules and research projects, students can investigate cutting-edge physics domains connected to the School's internationally recognized research - including planetary science, climate physics, nanotechnology, astrophysics, medical physics, and space science.
