BSc Physics

The Physics BSc course at the University of Birmingham is a comprehensive programme designed to equip students with strong analytical, mathematical, and problem-solving skills. This intuition-driven course delves deeply into every aspect of physical phenomena, from subatomic particles to cosmology.Course Content: The course takes a hands-on approach, allowing students to experimentally investigate physical phenomena while developing their understanding of the primary principles of physics. The first year covers basic principles, followed by the second year where students deepen their knowledge in areas such as quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetic theory. The final year allows students the opportunity for further specialisation and the chance to undertake a major project.Key Modules: Some of the key modules in this course include The Physicist in the Workplace, Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, Electromagnetism I & II, Particle Physics and Cosmology, and Advanced Quantum Mechanics, among others.Accreditations: This course is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP), providing graduates with the professional recognition as a Chartered Physicist.Future Careers: Graduates of this course have managed to secure roles in sectors such as technology and innovation, energy and environment, finance, and more. Some common roles are a data analyst, research scientist, and medical physicist. A substantial 90% of graduates enter work or further study within six months of graduating.
