Physics

About this course

Physics is the fundamental science, concerned with understanding the nature of matter, energy, space, and time at every scale from the subatomic to the cosmological. It uses mathematics as its primary language to build precise models of the physical world, making predictions that can be tested against experiment with extraordinary accuracy. The discipline encompasses classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, optics, and relativity, and from these foundations emerge the applied sciences, from semiconductor technology and laser physics to particle physics and cosmology, that have shaped the modern world. At the University of Exeter, this three-year, full-time degree is available with a foundation year for students who need an additional preparatory year before entering the main programme. A sandwich year, a year abroad, and a work placement are all availabl
