This course is ideal for those interested in exploring core physics concepts and their mathematical foundations.

You'll investigate cutting-edge theoretical developments across atomic, condensed-matter, nuclear, and particle physics. During your final year, you'll collaborate with our research teams to examine profound scientific inquiries, including:

What determines the mass of elementary particles
How does quantum gravity theory function
Why did the early universe favor matter over antimatter
How can we verify these theories through experiments like the Large Hadron Collider or Planck Satellite
Your integrated Masters year will enhance your physics expertise through direct involvement with our Department's research teams.

You'll join a tight-knit community – our active Physics Society organizes frequent social gatherings. Our building serves as a vibrant center for student life. Beyond lectures, you can study or socialize in our well-used student common areas.
