BSc Physics with an Industrial Placement Year

This course is a chance for you to put your physics knowledge into practice in the real world, and build up more experience for your CV. Our students have worked on new particle accelerators and nuclear waste management at government laboratories, applied their analysis skills to data science jobs in the civil service, and joined the Large Hadron Collider team at CERN as part of their degree. At the start of your course, you’ll cover the essential physics behind everything else you’ll study: heat, motion, electricity, magnetism and quantum mechanics. You’ll learn through lectures and practical labs so you won’t be learning about abstract topics in isolation. You’ll run experiments using the equipment in our modern laboratories to help you understand how important theories apply to the real world. Options include astrophysics, electronics and sustainable energy.
