This IOP-accredited physics route through our SNS-accredited BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences (Q64) takes you from a broad appreciation of science to the cutting edge of contemporary physics, combining modern technology and traditional media. Using mathematical tools and experimental methods, you’ll learn to describe, analyse, test and explain phenomena in the physical world objectively and quantitatively. By applying the concepts of classical physics, quantum physics and relativity to the study of radiation and matter, from subatomic particles to supermassive black holes, you’ll deve...
This IOP-accredited physics route through our SNS-accredited BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences (Q64) takes you from a broad appreciation of science to the cutting edge of contemporary physics, combining modern technology and traditional media. Using mathematical tools and experimental methods, you’ll learn to describe, analyse, test and explain phenomena in the physical world objectively and quantitatively. By applying the concepts of classical physics, quantum physics and relativity to the study of radiation and matter, from subatomic particles to supermassive black holes, you’ll develop the knowledge and skills to explore the smallest and largest scales of the Universe.<br/><br/>**Key features of the course**<br/>- Gain mathematical and data-handling skills, plus apply models and analyse data using a modern programming language<br/><br/><br/>- Develop investigative and laboratory skills using our state-of-the-art multi-award-winning OpenSTEM Labs<br/><br/><br/>- Extend your understanding of core physics concepts and processes that underpin a wide range of phenomena<br/><br/><br/>- Accredited by the Society for Natural Sciences (SNS) and the Institute of Physics (IOP)<br/>
