• The University of Hertfordshire offers a BSc in Physics with a duration of 3 years.
  • It is an honors program.
  • The program is a course-based and delivered on-campus.
  • The program is available on a full-time (3 years), sandwich (4 years), and part-time (6 years) basis.
  • The BSc degree has had accreditation from the Institute of Physics (IoP) for a number of years.
  • Students will study the fundamental theories behind Physics and their application to modern-day research and technology. 
  • During the second and third years, students begin to specialize in experimental physics or more theoretical and mathematical concepts.
  • Students can choose from a range of options in the final year, including Nonlinear Systems, Rocket Performance, and Propulsion, Physics of Stars, Nonlinear Systems, Partial Differential Equations, Dynamics and Geometry, Further Numerical Methods, or Quantum Computing.
  • Some of the modules students will study are:
    • The Physical Universe
    • Mathematical Techniques
    • Special Relativity and Quantum Physics
    • Experimental Physics
    • Computational Modelling
    • Electromagnetism
    • Optics and Lasers
    • Thermodynamics
  • This course includes the options of work placement and study abroad.
  • Students will be closely supervised and guided by one of our experienced researchers in the Centre for Atmospheric & Instrumentation Research.
  • Previous projects have included designing a calibration system for airborne ice sensors, modelling the behaviour of soliton waves in the oceans, and examining quantum dynamics using topological methods.
  • The student-faculty ratio is 4:5.
  • According to payscale, the average salary goes up to 87,156 USD.
