COURSE OVERVIEW
Physics with Particle Physics and Cosmology addresses the meaning of everything.
From quantum information and a grand unified theory, to from dark matter and high energy particle physics, this subject can take you anywhere.
Over the course of a three-year degree you will delve into the building blocks of matter and the vastness of the cosmos.
You will study from a selection of modules including astronomy and cosmology, nuclear physics, the quantum world and climate physics.
We will teach you how fundamental physics is applied across different disciplines and how it connects to new advances in engineering, medicine and mathematics.
Studying physics at Swansea University gives you access to genuinely world-leading teaching and cutting edge facilities.
If you don’t have the necessary entry requirements to enter on to the first year of a degree, you may be offered a place on a degree course with an integrated foundation year.
