This program provides a positive experience of physics and encourages students to foster and maintain an intellectual curiosity in the discipline. We encourage/educate our students to become active, lifelong and autonomous learners with good prospects of employment in economic sectors requiring analytical skills or for further study of the subject. Our students will become well grounded in the fundamentals of physics with an appreciation of more specialised knowledge and the current frontiers of research. Our learning environment emphasises laboratory work at all stages, combining in-class, project and problem-solving work including data analysis and programming. Our students will be imbued with professional values including scientific integrity and ethical behaviour, and the ability to communicate complex information effectively. Assessment is based on individual work, group work, work in the laboratory, project work including student presentation and written report.
Students take 5 core modules. Overall, 50 programme credits must be completed in Stage 3. Students may select 10 credits from elective modules or alternatively, additional modules can be selected from the BSc programme.
Students take five core modules (40 credits) and four option modules (20 credits).
