What students say about physics

Beautiful location with a lovely pound with ducks. Lots of places to eat and drink as well as a coop to get whatever you need. The LIBRARY is very big with loads of spaces and quiet zones. Improvement - giving more personal time and feedback 1-1s with students as well as tutors being active in replying etc

What students say about physics

My university experience had its highs and lows. The best part was the supportive academic environment, with passionate lecturers and plenty of resources like well-equipped libraries and study spaces. The vibrant campus life, with diverse clubs and events, made it a great place to meet people and grow personally. However, there were some downsides, like the high cost of living and occasional administrative delays, which could be frustrating. Improving affordability and streamlining student support services would make the experience even better overall.

What students say about physics

It is a very collaborative and social university, with a nice campus. Some parts of campus are outdated and would benefit from being refurbished however the quality of delivery of my course has been very good. It is a leading sports university so it has been great to be involved in this environment. There are several places to study across campus whether that is collaboratively or individually, which makes it easy to get on with work.

What students say about physics

The location is fantastic. Plymouth is a beautiful city with decent nightlife and you can easily get on a train or a cheap bus and travel in any direction and enjoy the most beautiful coast and countryside. The main campus is nice, albeit mostly grey concrete with some ugly modern art thrown in. There isn't as much greenery as other universities and some of the facilities aren't great but the good ones are really modern, really colourful and very comfortable. The lecturers are nice people and some of their classes are really interesting and involving. The Student Union organises all sorts of events celebrating different cultures and in the bar there are drinks for a reasonable price, themed discos and a pub quiz every Sunday, all very enjoyable. There are lots of sports clubs and different societies to join and they're generally very welcoming.

It's in a great location with walking distance of the town and shops. You can make lots of great friends and there's many societies for you to join like the Animated Movie and Series Society! What could be improved is there being more opportunities for students to make money and make a change.

Teaching staff are amazing! Although the campus is slightly out the way, this is made up for by a calm environment, clear air and access to green spaces. Library space can be limited, sometimes it is challenging to find a space with a monitor. It would also be good if there were HDMI cables available, to plug your laptop into the larger screens.

What students say about physics

The library is such a good place to study with quiet spaces available so noise is never an issue. The campus is close to the nearby town Ormskirk so shops are not far away, and as everything is on one campus it has a nice close-knit feel. There's a good range of support available from academic to personal issues, though the quality of support does vary depending on who you go to. Overall, I'm really glad I came here, it was definitely the choice for me.

Studying about Physics

A physics degree involves examining the nature and properties of both matter and energy. The topics covered within a physics degree range from particle physics and climate change, to electromagnetic fields, quantum physics and so much more. A degree in physics tends to encompass a mix of both theoretical and practical work, in order to understand how important phenomena work. Graduates of a physics degree will often work in research, in education, as practitioners and so on.
