Our BSc Physics degree offers maximum flexibility to tailor your studies as your interests evolve.This degree combines core physics content and astrophysics with the full range of our optional modules that take advantage of Loughborough’s research strengths in for example, quantum physics, modern optics, condensed matter, the physics of materials, statistical physics, and medical physics.What's the difference between MPhys and BSc?Our MPhys programmes offer a competitive edge in the job market due to their advanced content, highlighting commitment and specialized knowledge. The MPhys programmes include an extended research project, allowing deep exploration and potential contributions to human knowledge. For careers needing deep physics understanding and research capability, an MPhys bolsters prospects. While a BSc partially meets Chartered Physicist and Chartered Scientist requirements, MPhys fully satisfies them.
