Unravel the universe's deepest mysteries with a degree in theoretical physics.
During this course, you'll gain a strong foundation across core physics disciplines. You'll explore theoretical and experimental physics, studying modules from our Physics BSc courses. You'll then specialise in theoretical physics and study:
* advanced electromagnetism
* advanced fluid dynamics
These modules are unique to our Theoretical Physics degrees.
You’ll gain hands-on experience in our high-spec facilities, gaining practical skills for your career. You'll work on projects, applying theoretical knowledge to practical challenges. These could include particle sensing, chemical detection, and other real-world applications.
You'll graduate with an accredited degree and an interdisciplinary skillset in-demand with employers. This course is also ideal for someone interested in research or further study in physics or mathematics.
## Flexible degree structure
Our flexible degree structure allows you to tailor your studies. All students follow the same curriculum in Stage 1, with specialisations beginning in Stage 2. You can transfer between Physics disciplines until the end of Stage 1. You can also switch between the BSc and MPhys of your chosen discipline until the end of Stage 2:
Physics BSc
Theoretical Physics BSc
Physics with Astrophysics BSc

Entry Requirements
A level
AAB including Mathematics and Physics, excluding General Studies and Critical Thinking, OR ABB including Mathematics and Physics if a third A level is from: Further Maths, Biology, Chemistry, English Literature, Geography, History and Modern/Classical Languages or grade 2 in any STEP paper. For Biology, Chemistry and Physics A Levels, we require a pass in the practical element where offered. Equivalent A level grades will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
UCAS Tariff
Not accepted
Scottish Higher
AAABB (combination of Highers and Advanced Highers) with AB at Advanced Higher. Advanced Higher Physics is preferred. If a candidate is not taking Advanced Higher Physics, we would consider candidates offering Advanced Higher Mathematics AND one of Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Design and Manufacture, Engineering Science or Mathematics of Mechanics on a case-by-case basis. Candidates must have Higher Mathematics and Physics at grade B or above if either of these subjects are not taken at Advanced Higher.
