Physics Degree

Physics is one of the richest of subjects to study. The concepts of physics can be thought of as the verbs of scientific language: all events in the universe, from the striking of a bow across a violin string to the explosion of a super nova, have a fundamental physical component. The Aberyswyth physics degree lays a firm grounding in core physical conceptss whilst exploring the breadth of Physics through a range of exciting specialist modules in, for example, fundamental particles, relativity and solid-state physics. The study of physics links to many spheres of interest and many employment opportunities - so that career opportunites for those who take Physics degree courses are expanding all the time.

Aberystwyth Physics Degrees

Aberystwyth's pure Physics degree course caters for students who want to study Physics in breadth, either through the four year MPhys Physics degree, or the three year BSc Physics Degree. These Physics degree courses bring you into contact with exciting topics such as relativity, quantum mechanics, atomic, nuclear and particle physics, chaos, astrophysics, theoretical physics, electromagnetism, solid-state physics, semiconductors, optics, lasers and instrumentation.

Optional modules available cover astronomy, atmospheric physics and planetary physics. Further special modules in both Physics degrees help integrate these ideas into a coherent overview of physical concepts and assist in developing problem-solving skills which are essential to those who wish to study Physics at a higher level, but also much in demand in the many opportunities for careers in Physics.
