Course description

Physics is the study of the fundamental processes of our Universe, and its laws underpin the other natural sciences. Our highly flexible MPhys Physics programme reflects this central role. The programme covers all aspects of physics, from the very basics to the current frontiers of knowledge.

The early years of the programme are broad-based, providing a robust foundation for advanced physics and mathematics courses.

In later years you can specialise, depending on your interests and career ambitions, by taking courses from a wide range of fields.

Whatever field of physics interests you the most, you will find experts in:

* particle physics

* nuclear physics

* condensed matter

* fluids

* optics

* cosmology

* astronomy
