Physics

About this course

Physics is the science that asks the most fundamental questions about the universe, from the behaviour of the smallest subatomic particles to the large-scale structure of galaxies. As Queen's University Belfast's description puts it, physics studies how our universe works, encompassing quantum theory, relativity, and particle physics, and it lies at the heart of most modern technology, from the computer to the laser. To study physics is to engage with ideas that are both intellectually challenging and practically transformative, developing a way of thinking that underpins science, engineering, and much of modern life. Queen's University Belfast's three-year full-time BSc Physics degree carries a typical entry tariff of 136 points and is aimed at students who wish to continue their exploration of physics beyond school and apply their knowledge to the physics-based world of the twenty-fir
