The four-year BSc Physical Sciences course at the University of Aberdeen provides students with a broad grounding in Physics and Chemistry, focusing on the overlap between these two key domains of physical science. It is suitable for students who have an interest in both subjects and who wish to maintain the possibility of majoring in just one of them in their final year.Course Content: The program aims to arm students with the core principles of both Physics and Chemistry; it further deeper students understanding through specialist modules. The course culminates in a fourth year where students typically choose to specialize in either Chemistry or Physics. However, the option to continue with both subjects is also possible, depending on one's interest.Key Modules: While the course site doesn't specify particular modules, it emphasizes the thorough study of Physics and Chemistry, possibly including topics like general physics, chemical principles, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and specialized areas within each subject based on the student's elective preferences.Accreditations: The BSc Physical Sciences degree has been accredited by the relevant professional bodies for both Physics and Chemistry.Future Careers: Graduates usually find employment in Industrial or Public Sector Research, IT, Teaching, Product Development, Radiation Protection and Health Physics, among many others. Some graduates also opt for further study in the field of Physical Sciences.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
