About

Physics combines analytical reasoning and problem solving using the language of mathematics to understand the universe. If you have a deep desire to understand how everything works, from the subatomic quantum world to the vastness of the cosmos, then the BSc Physics degree at Swansea is the course for you. You will learn physical concepts and mathematical techniques and apply them to understand advances in quantum information, cosmology, semiconductors, lasers, medical, nuclear & particle physics. You will have the opportunity to work on advanced projects, often at the cutting edge of research in these fields, under the supervision of internationally recognised academics.
