BSc Physics

Objectives
The main aim in Physics is to identify fundamental laws and show how these may be invoked to predict and explain many natural phenomena. Part of the appeal of the subject is that the physical world is governed by remarkably few basic laws and that these apply throughout science and not just in physics.

Entry requirements
General university admissions requirements
All applicants must possess a minimum level of competence in English Language and in Mathematics or a Science. A pass at Grade C or above in GCSE English Language and in Mathematics or a Science, or an equivalent qualification, fulfils this requirement.
For some courses, requirements are above this University minimum, so you should check the relevant course-specific entry requirements in our hard copy prospectus which you can order online or browse on our online directory. We usually ask for candidates to show a broad base of study at GCSE level (or equivalent) with passes in at least five subjects from a range of disciplines.
