Course Description
The MPhys Physics degree programme provides a broad range of physics modules with the opportunity to specialise in your particular interest by taking optional modules. The Physics course is the most flexible of all our degree programmes and reflects both theoretical and experimental aspects of the subject. This is particularly true in your final year when you will take all your modules from a list of optional Masters-level modules. This will allow you to both deepen your knowledge in particular areas of physics and to broaden your knowledge into specialist areas of physics.
