Biophysics is an interdisciplinary field that has led to some of the most significant developments in modern science. Our Physics with Biophysics BSc course will give you an understanding of fundamental aspects of physics and biophysics. You will study traditional Physics topics such as quantum mechanics, fields and waves and electromagnetism, while also learning about the physics of life. Approximately one quarter of the course is biophysics related – specifically, the application of physics, mathematics and computing to understand the workings of living systems. You’ll carry out extensive biophysics related project work in your third year to gain an insight into the skills and conduct of scientific research.
Key benefits
- Our Physics with Biophysics degree is the only of its kind in the UK.
- Award winning: six former staff and students in the Physics department are Nobel Prize winners.
- Research lies at the heart of our department, so you’ll be taught by internationally renowned scientists.
- You’ll have access to our newly refurbished laboratory facilities, located in the heart of London.
