  • Dedicated first year modules will equip you with the fundamental mathematical, programming and practical skills required for effective academic study

  • Develop the core skills in mathematics and physics to focus on tacking some of the worlds renewable energy and climate change problems

  • 13th in England for Physics (Guardian University Guide, 2022)

    Addressing climate change by switching from hydrocarbon reliance to renewable energy generation is a pivotal national and global challenge for the next 20 years and beyond. Physicists play a vital role in de-carbonising the economy by designing, developing and deploying technologies that generate, distribute and store renewable energy at scale.

    Based on the solid foundation of our existing accredited Single Honours Physics degree, our BSc will focus on:

  • the physics of renewable energy from wind, solar, hydroelectric, tidal, nuclear fission and fusion;

  • the distribution of renewable energy, the national grid and smart energy networks

  • energy efficiency, materials for renewable energy, storage solutions and batteries

  • computing, data-analysis and the application of Physics to solving real-world and world-changing problems.
