Course summary

Physics is the study of the fundamental processes of our Universe, and its laws underpin the other natural sciences.Our flexible MPhys Physics programme reflects this central role. The programme covers all aspects of physics, from the very basics to the current frontiers of knowledge.The early years of the programme are broad-based, providing a robust foundation for advanced physics and mathematics courses.In later years, you can specialise by taking courses from different fields based on your interests and career ambitions.Whatever field of physics interests you the most, you will find experts in: particle physics nuclear physics condensed matter fluids optics cosmology astronomyCompared to the BSc, our MPhys Physics programme provides a broader and deeper exposure to the concepts, methods and phenomena of physics. You will also gain experience of research work through an extended project. This provides a foundation for further research studies in physics.
