Physics

About this course

Physics is the discipline that seeks to understand the fundamental laws governing the natural world, from subatomic particles and quantum fields to the behaviour of gases, fluids, and solids, the propagation of waves, and the large-scale structure of the universe. It is a subject of great intellectual beauty, built on the conviction that nature is governed by laws that can be expressed with mathematical precision and tested against observation. Studying physics develops rigorous analytical thinking, mathematical fluency, and the ability to model complex systems, skills that are among the most transferable in higher education. At Nottingham this three-year programme is available with an integrated foundation year for students who need additional preparation before beginning the main degree, and the typical entry tariff for the main degree is 152 points.
