Physics (4 years)

About this course

Physics is the science that seeks to understand the fundamental laws of nature, from the behaviour of subatomic particles and the forces that hold matter together to the large-scale structure of the universe and the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. It is also the discipline that has driven the technological revolutions of the modern era, from quantum mechanics and semiconductor physics to photonics, nuclear energy, and the computational methods that underpin simulation and data analysis across science and industry. A physics degree at Master's level develops the deepest possible understanding of the subject and the highest level of analytical capability. At the University of Southampton, this four-year full-time MPhys programme offers maximum flexibility, allowing you to tailor the degree to your own passion for physics across a range of specialisms. You will study the core con
