Physics, MPhys (Hons)

The four-year MPhys Physics degree is tailored for students aiming to become professional physicists, offering in-depth study of topics from quantum mechanics to cosmology. This flexible program allows module selection across all four years, building on the BSc Physics for enhanced specialization. Top students can transition to flagship pathways, such as a research year at CERN, immersive experimental work in advanced labs, or an industrial placement for original research projects. Access to cutting-edge facilities, including a rooftop observatory and photonics labs, supports this exploration.The curriculum covers key areas like electricity, quantum physics, and statistical mechanics, while developing transferable skills such as problem-solving and data analysis. Assessment combines examinations, coursework, and projects, with the final year featuring a synoptic exam and research project. Accredited by the Institute of Physics, this degree opens doors to diverse careers in fields like engineering, research, and journalism.
