Physics with Biophysics, BSc (Hons)

The BSc in Physics with Biophysics at the University of Exeter provides a strong foundation in modern physics while building essential professional skills to prepare you for a career in the field. Our programmes emphasize core mainstream physics alongside a balanced exploration of biophysical applications, including the physical principles of biological systems and imaging techniques. Fully accredited by the Institute of Physics, the curriculum follows a structured skills development pathway from day one through the entire degree. You will progressively master classical physics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, relativity, solid-state physics, and other key areas, while gaining proficiency in employable skills such as experimental physics, data analysis, critical thinking, problem-solving, science communication, and scientific programming.As physics is a collaborative discipline, the final year features substantial open-ended project work. BSc students complete two one-term extended projects, which can be experimental or theoretical. These opportunities include team-based efforts addressing real-world challenges, enhancing your ability to communicate complex investigation results to diverse audiences in varied formats.
