BSc Physics & Astrophysics

The BSc Physics and Astrophysics course at the University of Birmingham is a comprehensive program tailored for individuals interested in the physical principles that underpin the behaviour of the Universe. It provides students with a deep understanding of subjects ranging from quantum physics to the nature of stars and galaxies. The course also places a great emphasis on practical skills.Course Content: The programme is structured into a three-year course. In the first and second year, students cover core topics in physics, with a focus on mathematical physics, quantum physics and the physics of stars and galaxies. The third year of the course enables students to incorporate a year of study abroad into their degree, or an industrial year.Key Modules: Some important modules include Quantum Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Statistical Thermodynamics, Solid State Physics, Observational Astrophysics, Numerical and Computational Physics.Accreditations: Upon successful completion of this course, students are awarded a Bachelor of Science degree that is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP).Future Careers: Graduates with a BSc in Physics and Astrophysics have a strong basis for a broad range of careers. These could include, but are not limited to, working directly in Physics and associated industries (aerospace, defence, energy), taking on roles in IT and finance, or furthering their study in postgraduate research.
