Join us and explore the laws that underpin the universe with MSci Physics. From studying the quantum interactions of sub-atomic particles to the vast celestial bodies that make up the night sky, you'll master advanced physics in a friendly and supportive environment. Graduate with an integrated Masters degree in Physics from Birmingham and your choice of careers will be wide open. Learn about quantum mechanics, optics and particle physics. Join us and build problem-solving, programming, mathematical, teamwork and experimental skills. This course is accredited by the Institute of Physics. The summary reads: 'This is a major and important physics department residing in one of the UK's premier universities. It is highly organised, well-run and benefits from a dedicated set of academic staff. Physics is presented through well-planned degree programmes, supported by a range of excellent facilities'. Develop an advanced understanding of the laws that make up the natural world. Choose from topics such as quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, chaos and dynamical systems and the life and death of stars. During your final year you’ll join a research group and apply your knowledge to an individual project, developing high-level research skills. Our academics are global experts in their fields, and you’ll benefit from using state-of-the-art study spaces, computing suites and laboratories. Our research spaces include our own particle accelerators, the MC40 cyclotron for charged particles and HF-ADNeF, the most intense accelerator driven neutron source worldwide, as well as labs used for the construction of the detectors and electronics in experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN. Work alongside renowned academics who are pushing the frontiers of scientific knowledge. Our researchers will teach your lectures, lead your labs, act as your personal tutors and supervise your projects. Modules are assessed in a variety of ways: exams, class tests, problem sheets, lab assignments and project reports. There is a strong emphasis on project work in the final year of your degree course. Lab work is assessed continuously throughout the term.
