Course summary

Physics is the most fundamental of all the sciences, concerned with unlocking the secrets of the Universe and understanding the world around us. This five-year MPhys Physics (with a Professional Placement) programme is designed to give you a broad understanding of both theoretical and experimental physics, whist attaining real-world, professional experience. Accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP), this five-year programme goes into greater depth than the BSc course, allowing you to further develop your practical knowledge of the subject. Studying alongside internationally respected physicists whose work is providing the basis for revolutionary innovations, you will be part of an exciting and friendly environment and have access to state-of-the-art apparatus, including lasers, X-ray sources and electronics. This programme includes a professional placement year in industry, commerce, government or another relevant placement provider approved by the University which will give you the opportunity to gain relevant work experience in the field. The course aims to prepare you for a career in industrial or academic research and development, education or other sectors which require a practical, numerate and analytical approach to problem solving.
