BSc Physics

The Physics BSc/MPhys at the University of Hull offers a comprehensive and rigorous training in physics, blending theoretical education and practical laboratory experiences. The university boasts of a world-class faculty, ensuring students get the right blend of knowledge, skills, and abilities to excel in this field.Course Content: The physics programmes, whether BSc (3 years) or MPhys (4 years), covers an extensive range of physics topics, from quantum mechanics to cosmology with key emphasis on the use of mathematics to explain natural phenomena. The course is distinguished by its combination of theoretical and practical studies. The practical element involves a series of small-group tutorials and laboratory sessions that give students a strong grounding in experimental physics.Key Modules: In your first year, core modules will introduce you to the principles of physics, including mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum and atomic physics. In the second year, you explore these areas further, along with modules in materials and thermal physics and a research project in the final year. For MPhys students, the fourth year will involve an extended research project and advanced modules, such as quantum field theory.Accreditations: The course is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP), ensuring that it meets the high standards set by the physics profession.Future Careers: Graduates are sought after by employers for their problem-solving skills and numeracy. The career routes taken by Hull graduates are many and varied, ranging from research in academia or industry, through operational, technical, and business roles, to careers in teaching, law or the media.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page here.
