• Compulsory modules in the first year provide a firm foundation in quantum and classical physics, underpinned by mathematics and a practical skills module that includes computing skills training.
  • The second year includes a compulsory module in quantum physics and its application to atoms and molecules, statistical thermodynamics, and electromagnetic theory, along with further mathematics. The quantum and condensed matter elements of the core are completed in the third year.
  • The second and third years also include practical laboratory and project modules and optional modules to develop further and enhance knowledge of a range of physics topics.
  • The fourth-year comprises a compulsory research project and further optional modules, generally chosen from subjects in the relevant degree specialty. A wide range of modules are available each year and normally some taught by staff from other University of London colleges.
  • Upon successful completion of 480 credits, students will be awarded an MSci (Hons) in Physics.
