Investigate the possibilities of life elsewhere within the universe and get involved with real space missions from ESA and NASA. You'll also work on Hubble Telescope data and images from giant telescopes, as well as working with our own Beacon Observatory.
You'll have access to our first-class research laboratories, which are equipped for synthetic and analytical techniques ranging from soft organic polymers to nanoparticles, to highly sensitive organometallic species.
On this four-year MPhys course, you'll work with an academic in one of our research groups, carrying out an in-depth project connected with our research.
You'll have the opportunity to spend your third year studying abroad at one of our partner institutions. This provides a wealth of personal and professional benefits. You'll experience a different culture, establish international contacts, grow in self-confidence and enhance your employability.
In addition, you'll develop the transferable skills to open up a world of job opportunities, leading to careers in research, aeronautics, engineering, medical physics, defence, teaching, finance and data analytics.
If you don’t have a science background or don’t meet our entry requirements, you can take our foundation year.
This course is fully accredited by the Institute of Physics.
