BSc (Hons.) Phsyics

The BSc Physics course at the University of Dundee allows students to study in a highly rated department with world-class facilities. It offers internationally recognised research-led teaching that uses a research-informed interactive approach. Course Content: Students on the course will acquire advanced theoretical and practical knowledge in various areas of physics. The course is structured to progressively build on the knowledge gained in each year, starting with foundational core concepts in the first year and moving toward more specialised modules in third and fourth year. Year one offers a general introduction to physics and its principles while further years offer modules focusing on quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, electromagnetism, optics and laser physics, amongst others. Key Modules: Some key modules students will engage with during the course include Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Optics, Mathematics for Physicists, Experimental Physics, and a final year project, which is either based on research or design of a physics experiment.Accreditations: The BSc Physics course is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP), ensuring that the quality, curriculum, staff, resources and quality assurance systems have been checked and meet the IOP's high standards.Future Careers: After completing the course, graduates have a wide range of career opportunities. Some students go on to research or academic roles, while many others find positions in IT, the treasury or the energy sector. The course also adequately prepares students for careers requiring analytical and problem-solving skills.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
