Physics

About this programme

Broaden your understanding of fundamental and applied physics in this professionally accredited degree. Discover how to solve problems concerning the physical world on this accredited three-year course. You'll explore how the laws of physics underpin most science and engineering disciplines and build a thorough understanding of various physics, mathematics and experimental methods. This course will help you develop a large range of problem-solving skills that can also be applied to many other (seemingly unrelated) situations. Through a range of modules, laboratory work, and projects you'll advance your knowledge of topics including mechanics, relativity and quantum physics. You'll also benefit from the programme's strong links to the world-leading research being carried out by various research groups at Imperial. You'll start to specialise across a range of optional modules during your third year and use mathematical and computing tools to tackle well-defined problems. This work will equip you in essential skills such as using apparatus, conducting experiments, interpreting data, and presenting your results. Your final year culminates with the opportunity to carry out an independent investigation in experimental physics or complete a review into an area at the frontiers of physics.
