Course summary

Explore the evolution of our universe with BSc Theoretical Physics. From classical and quantum mechanics to the life and death of stars, you'll study core theoretical physics in a friendly and supportive environment. Learn how to use the language of maths to help understand natural phenomena. Join us and build your mathematical knowledge alongside problem-solving, programming, teamwork and experimental skills to open the door to a range of careers. This course is accredited by the Institute of Physics. The summary reads: 'This is a major and important physics department residing in one of the UK's premier universities. It is highly organised, well-run and benefits from a dedicated set of academic staff. Physics is presented through well-planned degree programmes, supported by a range of excellent facilities'. Develop your knowledge of modern physics and the mathematical frameworks used to understand the physical world. Our theoretical physicists will help you step up to university-level physics, building your theoretical and practical skills with a firm mathematical focus. Choose whether you want to include experimental lab work and you’ll have options for specialist topics such as nuclear physics and exoplanets. During your final year you’ll apply your knowledge to an individual project, developing high-level research skills. You’ll also deepen your understanding with advanced modules including nanophotonics and renewable energy. Our research spaces include our own particle accelerators, the MC40 cyclotron for charged particles and HF-ADNeF, the most intense accelerator driven neutron source worldwide, as well as labs used for the construction of the detectors and electronics in experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN. As a Birmingham Physics graduate, you'll have a broad range of options for the future either working directly in a scientific environment or using transferable skills in different roles. Work alongside renowned academics who are pushing the frontiers of scientific knowledge. Our researchers will teach your lectures, lead your labs, act as your personal tutors and supervise your projects. Modules are assessed in a variety of ways: exams, class tests, problem sheets, lab assignments and project reports. There is a strong emphasis on project work in the final year of your degree course. Lab work is assessed continuously throughout the term.
