About this course
Theoretical Physics at Hull gives you the mathematical tools to gain a deep understanding of modern physics – from the sub-atomic level to a cosmological scale.
We’ll help you develop the transferable data science skills that employers value – including in Python, one of the fastest-growing programming languages. You'll pick up sought-after skills in everything from communication and team work to problem solving, alongside programming, maths and research experience.
Nurtured by world-leading academics, you’ll have weekly tutorials in your first two years. Plus one-to-one feedback sessions with your tutor throughout your degree.
We run a packed calendar of over 100 events every year, spanning widening participation, diversity and curriculum-enhancing activities. We’re part of a unique employability network, the White Rose Industrial Physics Alliance, which runs careers events featuring potential future employers.
Our physics programmes have some of the most diverse student populations in the country thanks to our award-winning Changing Face of Physics Campaign.
Throughout your degree, you’re expected to study for 1,200 hours per year. That’s based on 200 hours per 20 credit module. And it includes scheduled hours, time spent on placement and independent study. How this time is divided across the year varies and depends on the module you are studying.
How you'll be assessed depends on the course you study, and the modules you choose. You may be assessed through a mix of examinations, coursework, presentations and group projects.
