Course summary

Join a University ranked in the UK top five for Physics research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning.This course provides an exciting intellectual challenge from the outset. In year one, you will study physics and mathematics and philosophical topics such as metaphysics, the theory of knowledge, and ethics.Subsequent years allow you to study the overlap between the subjects in depth and might include units in the philosophy of science and the foundations and philosophy of physics.The course allows you to develop a physicist's broad range of skills, including problem-solving, numeracy and communication. You will supplement these skills with a philosopher's ability to rigorously analyse complex texts and form coherent arguments on complex subjects.In your final year, you will undertake a major project within Physics, working in a research group with a staff member. These final-year projects address questions at the frontier of our research fields. You will also undertake an independent study project within Philosophy to undertake extensive personal research into a philosophical question on a topic of your choosing (subject to approval).Join our friendly department with a very active, award-winning student society. We support you to develop a broad range of experimental, theoretical and analytical skills, as well as to develop your understanding of how to apply your skills more widely. These are vital for a career in research or industry.Our graduates have an excellent record of employment post-study. This is a testament to the value that employers place on the transferable skills that you will gain on this course.Think Big bursaries of £3,000 are available to support first-year international undergraduate students in this subject area.
