Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: F303

Here's what University of Warwick says about its Physics course.

Physics deals with fundamental questions about the Universe, and key technological and environmental issues of our time. Warwick's Physics degree involves studying beautiful theories about the properties of space and matter. It also develops valuable transferable skills and expertise, opening doors to exciting careers and graduate job opportunities. Study with us and enjoy benefits that last a lifetime.

This course is accredited by the Institute of Physics.

Physics is a practical subject full of beautiful ideas. If you study physics with us, you will be exploring deep questions about the nature of the Universe and developing many useful skills.

Core modules introduce and develop the fundamental concepts, such as those of quantum theory and electromagnetism, and cover the mathematics used in physics. Optional modules provide opportunities to see how the basic concepts can explain the phenomena we observe.

For the final year project, you will work as a member of one of the research groups on a year-long project to explore aspects that are not yet fully understood. We encourage you to apply for summer placements and projects, which enable you to complete a small research project supervised by a member of academic staff.

The four-year integrated Masters course is ideal if you intend to make direct use of your knowledge of physics after you graduate. The fourth year includes modules on all the main areas of physics. It will encourage you to reflect more on some of the unsolved problems in physics, with the final two years offering modules in key areas of physics, including specialist modules.
