**Why choose this course**
Home to superb research facilities and partnered with the National Physical Laboratory, Surrey offers distinctive physics courses that are among the best in the UK and reflect the diversity and exciting nature of the subject.
Our BSc and MPhys Physics courses offer you a flexible choice of modules across many different topics, covering both theoretical and applied areas of physics. Our teaching builds on the broad range of expertise among our acclaimed academics.
Two unique aspects of both courses are:
Our placement programme:
- Within the BSc, the option to take a paid Professional Training placement in industry gives you invaluable hands-on experience to enhance your employability.
- On our MPhys course, you’ll take a year-long, masters-level integrated research placement. This can be in one of our world-leading research groups or at one of our international partner institutions.
Our focus on undergraduate research and innovation:
- All undergraduates have the opportunity to apply for 8-10 week paid summer placements in our research groups and those of our South East Physics Network partners.
- We offer in-house “research and innovation” and “enterprise” grants that students can apply for to fund a research placement, attend a conference or develop a new business idea.
**What you will study**
On our BSc and MPhys Physics courses, you’ll study core topics, such as particle, nuclear and atomic physics, and optional modules. During your first year, you can switch between any of our specialist physics courses.
The option to take an integrated research year or Professional Training placement also gives you invaluable hands-on experience to enhance your employability.
You can apply to study for either a BSc or an MPhys (Master of Physics), a direct route to a masters qualification. Included in the MPhys is an integrated research year, which allows you to develop your skills in an academic or industrial arena, before returning for your final masters-level modules.
Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BSc or MPhys during your studies.
