Physics BSc (Hons)

On our BSc and MPhys, you’ll study core topics, such as particle, nuclear and atomic physics, and optional modules. During your first year, you can switch between most of our specialist physics courses. The option to take an integrated research year or Professional Training placement also gives you invaluable hands-on experience to enhance your employability. Formal lectures are complemented with work in our specialist radiation laboratories, which have recently been refurbished and enlarged at a cost of £2.7m. As an undergraduate student, you’ll use these labs to undertake experiments related to the Nuclear and Particle Physics module. You can apply to study for either a BSc or an MPhys. An MPhys is a direct route to a masters qualification, known as an integrated masters, and includes an integrated research year. This allows you to develop your skills in an academic or industrial arena, before returning for your final masters-level modules. More details: https://www.surrey.ac.uk/undergraduate/physics
