Engineering Physics, BSc (Hons)

Our BSc Engineering Physics programme integrates physical principles with engineering and technology, providing a solid foundation in physics while leveraging Loughborough's renowned engineering expertise to address real-world challenges. The curriculum merges core physics studies with specialised engineering streams—such as materials, electrical, or mechanical and manufacturing engineering—which students select at the end of Year 1. This structure fosters in-depth development in your chosen field, making your skills highly appealing to employers.In contrast, MPhys programmes deliver a competitive advantage through advanced coursework and an extended research project, enabling deeper exploration and potential contributions to knowledge. Ideal for careers requiring strong research skills, MPhys fully meets requirements for Chartered Physicist and Chartered Scientist status, whereas BSc only partially satisfies them. Modules are detailed on our website, and assessments typically combine coursework (e.g., essays, projects, labs) with examinations, varying by module.
