This BSc Physics program delves into the mysteries of time and space while exploring fundamental theories that explain our universe. You'll acquire sophisticated analytical, mathematical, and computational abilities that employers highly value across diverse industries. The curriculum covers captivating subjects including quantum physics, special relativity, and galactic evolution. Throughout each academic year, you'll select from various elective modules to shape your path as a physicist. The program includes hands-on research opportunities, with past projects ranging from creating high-temperature superconductors to constructing lasers and calculating galaxy cluster masses. A distinctive feature is our General Relativity offering - one of the few UK undergraduate physics degrees to include this advanced topic.

Language Requirements
English
IELTS 6.5
Qualification Requirements
A-levels - AAA-AAB including physics (minimum grade A) and either mathematics or further mathematics (minimum grade A)
or
AABC including physics (minimum grade A) and either mathematics or further mathematics (minimum grade A) - ABBC including grades AB in physics and either mathematics or further mathematics
A-levels additional information
Successful applicants will be invited to visit the department and attend an optional interview. The optional interview may lead to a lower offer.
A pass in the science Practical is required where it is separately endorsed.
Offers typically exclude General Studies and Critical Thinking.
Applicants who have not studied mathematics/further mathematics and/or physics at A-level can apply for the Engineering/Physics/Mathematics Foundation Year
A-levels with Extended Project Qualification
If you are taking an EPQ in addition to 3 A levels, you will receive the following offer in addition to the standard A level offer: AAB including physics (minimum grade A) and either mathematics or further mathematics (minimum grade A) plus grade A in the EPQ
A-levels contextual offer
We are committed to ensuring that all applicants with the potential to succeed, regardless of their background, are encouraged to apply to study with us. The additional information gained through contextual data allows us to recognise an applicant's potential to succeed in the context of their background and experience. Applicants who are highlighted in this way will be made an offer which is lower than the typical offer for that programme, as follows: AAB including physics (minimum grade A) and either mathematics or further mathematics (minimum grade A) or ABBC including grades AB in physics and either mathematics or further mathematics.
International Baccalaureate Diploma - Pass, with 36-34 points overall with 18-17 points at Higher Level, including 6 at Higher Level in Mathematics (Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation) and 6 at Higher Level in Physics
IELTS - overall score 6.5 with other component (reading, writing, speaking, listening - 6.0)
TOEFL iBT- 92
