Course summary
Our exciting BSc and MPhys Physics with Nuclear Astrophysics courses are unique in the UK.You’ll study the core modules required of a physics degree, but you’ll also gain a specialism that combines the quantum world of atomic nuclei with the cosmic scale of astronomy.Students also benefit from our excellent facilities and the University’s partnership with the National Physical Laboratory.Two unique aspects of both courses are:-Our award-winning Professional Training placements:--Within the BSc, the option to take a paid Professional Training placement in industry gives you invaluable hands-on experience to enhance your employability.--On our MPhys, you’ll take a year-long, masters-level integrated research placement. This can be in one of our world-leading research groups or at one of our international partner institutions.-Our focus on undergraduate research and innovation:--All undergraduates have the opportunity to apply for paid 8-10 week summer research placements in our research groups and those of our South East Physics Network partners.--We offer in-house grants that students can apply for to fund a research placement, attend a conference or develop a new business idea.
What you will studyYou’ll explore core elements of traditional physics (e.g. particle physics, atoms and molecules) and topics within astronomy and nuclear physics, reflecting the outstanding research we conduct at Surrey.Students have the option to take a Professional Training placement on the BSc or an integrated research year on the MPhys. The latter is a direct route to a masters qualification. The MPhys integrated research year allows you to develop your skills in an academic or industrial arena, before returning for your final masters-level modules.Formal lectures are complemented with work in our specialist radiation laboratories, which have recently been refurbished and enlarged at a cost of a £2.7m. As an undergraduate student, you’ll use these labs to undertake experiments related to the Nuclear and Particle Physics module.Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BSc or MPhys during your studies.
