Course Overview

All our Physics students study the same core of fundamental physics and maths, based on the Institute of Physics (IOP) 'core of physics' material. This includes classical mechanics, waves and fields, electromagnetism, special relativity, thermodynamics, quantum, and atomic physics. By choosing the Physics MPhys you will have access to the widest range of specialist options in each year.

As a physics student at Leicester, you will acquire an appreciation of the scope and impact of modern physics and the use of mathematics, computing, and experimentation to solve important real-world problems.

You will study the fundamental theories of physics, from classical mechanics, waves and fields, to relativity, atomic, and particle physics. Through option courses and projects you will have the opportunity to explore the areas of physics linked to the School's world-leading research - such as planetary science, climate physics, nanotechnology, astrophysics, medical physics, and space science.
