Physics with Biophysics with Study Abroad

University of Exeter

The BSc in Physics with Biophysics programme at the University of Exeter will give you a solid understanding of modern physics, while at the same time, it will develop your professional skills and will prepare you for your future career as a physicist. Our Physics with Biophysics programmes focus on the core of mainstream physics, but also provide a balanced understanding of modern biophysical applications, from the physical foundation of biological systems, to imaging techniques applied to biological systems. Our programmes, fully accredited by the Institute of Physics, are carefully designed around a skills development roadmap, that starts in day one, and continues across the whole degree. Stage by stage, you will develop your understanding of classical physics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, relativity, solid state physics, and many other aspects of modern Physics. In parallel, and through our carefully designed skills development curriculum, you will become proficient at fundamental professional and highly employable skills like experimental physics, data analysis, critical thinking, problem solving, science communication, and scientific programming.Since Physics is an inherently collaborative discipline, the final year of the programme also involves substantial open-ended project work. BSc students undertake two one-term extended projects, which may be experimental or theoretical in nature. You will have the opportunity to undertake team-based work tackling real-world problems, and have the chance to develop your ability to communicate the results of complex investigations to a variety of audiences in different ways.
