Overview

At the Physics (with Foundation Year) programme from The University of Lancashire you’ll explore concepts spanning basic theory to discoveries at the forefront of the field, giving you the knowledge, skills and confidence to be a part of future advances and innovations.

You’ll also gain the mathematical ability to express those ideas alongside laboratory experience to perform real physics experiments.

What you’ll do

Graduates of physics and astrophysics are amongst the most employable in the world, particularly in technical and business sectors.

The staff who deliver the courses are members of the School’s Jeremiah Horrocks Institute and many hold PhDs and are active and renowned researchers.

During our BSc (Hons)/MPhys Physics or Astrophysics degree courses you’ll get to use specialist physics laboratories, developing your skills to be able to experiment using research equipment, and you’ll have the opportunity to use the University’s Alston Observatory during your course.

Future careers

The physics courses with a foundation year leads to employment in industry, government research institutes, overseas laboratories and observatories.

Many of BSc (Hons) graduates go on to further study, such as MSc degrees in physics and engineering.

Some choose to train in teaching (PGCE), or to find work in industry or government laboratories. You could also work in financial institutions, or become a scientific journalist.
