2024 entry
Course summary
Join a University ranked in the UK top five for Physics research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning.
This course provides an exciting intellectual challenge from the outset. In year one, you will study physics, mathematics and philosophical topics such as metaphysics, the theory of knowledge and ethics.
Subsequent years allow you to study the overlap between physics and philosophy in depth. You will study the philosophy of science and the foundations and philosophy of physics.
This course gives you the opportunity to develop a physicist's broad range of skills, including problem-solving, numeracy and communication. You will supplement these skills with a philosopher's ability to rigorously analyse complex texts and form coherent arguments on complex subjects.
You will join a friendly department with a very active, award-winning student society.
