Physics with a Year Abroad - MSci (Hons)

Queen Mary University of London

Physics is the study of the universe - exploring the basic rules that dictate the behaviour of matter and energy, from subatomic particles to the evolution of galaxies. Physics is at the forefront of solving global challenges-be part of the innovation with our thought-provoking, Institute of Physics-accredited course.Not many universities can say they’ve been teaching physics since 1896. Or that they’re one of the birth places of string theory. Today we’re a hub for scientific excellence and home to academics leading the way in everything from materials for healthcare to the next generation of radiation detectors. Our courses are informed by our cutting-edge research. Not only will you hear about our work, but you’ll also have the chance to get involved with projects. In the first year you’ll build a solid foundation in both theoretical and experimental physics.In subsequent years, you will be able to tailor your degree to your interests and passion through our Physics Streams outlined below:PhysicsTheoretical Physics Astrophysics Physics with Artificial Intelligence Physics Stream: The most versatile stream. Pick and choose which subjects interest you and build a kaleidoscope of experimental, theoretical, and computational knowledge.Theoretical Physics Stream: This stream is the most mathematically oriented and abstract of our streams. Master the tools needed to push the limits of human understanding and solve the deepest problems that challenge us. Astrophysics Stream: Explore the universe by learning about the hunt for planets and life outside our solar system, the birth and death of stars, the formation of galaxies, and the mysteries of cosmology. Learn about the sky above us and our place in the universe. Use the observatory to enhance your quest.Physics with AI Stream: Learn about the technologies underpinning the 2024 Physics Nobel Prize. Our AI modules focus on programming, modern statistical methods, and machine learning. You will have the opportunity to apply your skills to an AI driven problem in your final year project.All streams culminate in a full year final project in your area of interest guided by an expert academic staff member. This is your chance to develop advanced problem-solving skills, gain hands-on experience, and prepare for a future in research, industry, or beyond.This programme is accredited by the Institute of Physics.
