Subject area

Physics

Grouped here when the official title names physics, applied physics, astrophysics or astronomy.

Physics covers mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and relativity, with laboratory and computational work alongside. Specialisation into areas such as condensed matter, particle physics, optics or astrophysics usually comes late in a bachelor’s degree or at master’s level.

The programmes below were read from institutions’ own catalogues and grouped here by U4S. That grouping is an editorial judgement about the published title, not a statement from any institution, and two programmes sitting on this page are not thereby equivalent — content, entry requirements and the qualification awarded can differ substantially between them and between countries.
