Physics

UCL (University College London)

When we turn on a light or check the weather forecast, we are reaping the practical benefits of physics research. As well as exploring fundamental science, this BSc goes to the cutting edge of technologies that affect everyday life, equipping you with the tools and imagination to address tomorrow's questions. Compulsory modules in the first year provide a firm foundation in quantum and classical physics, underpinned by mathematics and a practical skills modules which includes computing skills training.The second year includes compulsory modules in quantum physics and its application to atoms and molecules, statistical thermodynamics, electromagnetic theory and further mathematics. The quantum and condensed matter elements of the core are completed in the third year.The second and third years also include practical laboratory and project modules, and optional modules to develop further and enhance knowledge of a range of physics topics.
