Science is a common entry course, leading to a BSc degree in one of 22 degree subjects. All degree subjects are organised into thematic streams. The Physics stream includes the following degree subjects:
Degree Subjects:
Students interested in Physics and Mathematics can study both streams in First Year.
Choosing your Degree Major
In general, students have to decide on one stream to pursue in second year and will study two or more degree subjects from that stream. Limited degree subjects between different streams can be studied in second year. They must be compatible from a content and timetable perspective, such as Mathematics and Physics and a list is not available as it can change each year. At the end of second year, students choose their degree major. Assuming students meet all the academic requirements in first and second year, students are guaranteed a degree subject from the stream they are studying in second year. We do our best to ensure that students go on to study their top degree subject choice. As we offer plenty of degree subjects in each stream, students have a number of similar degree subjects to choose from as their degree major.
Below is a list of all modules offered for this degree in the current academic year. Click on the module to discover what you will learn in the module, how you will learn and assessment feedback profile amongst other information.
Incoming Stage 1 undergraduates can usually select an Elective in the Spring Trimester. Most continuing undergraduate students can select up to two Elective modules (10 Credits) per stage. There is also the possibility to take up to 10 extra Elective credits.
Graduates work in a number of areas, depending on their degree subject. Each degree equips students with a particular skillset that may be applied to one or more industries.
If a Physics degree interests you, depending on the degree subject, graduates have worked in the Semiconductor, Nanotechnology & Space Industry.
Many of our Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science graduates also work in Computing, Risk, Finance & Analytics.
