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 has given us quantum mechanics, general relativity, the standard model of particle physics, the Big Bang theory, and the mathematical structures that underpin much of modern science and technology. Studying physics to degree level develops an exceptionally rigorous analytical mind, trained to move from observation to mathematical model to testable prediction with discipline and precision. At the University of Liverpool you will study this three-year full-time degree, which includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study at a different university and to experience physics education and research in another national context. Liverpool has a distinguished history in particle physics, as well as strong research ac
