COURSE OVERVIEW
Theoretical Physics truly addresses the meaning of everything. From quantum information and a grand unified theory, to dark matter and high energy particle physics, this subject can take you anywhere.
Over the course of this three-year degree you will be inspired to ask and answer big questions.
How did the universe begin? Is it possible to recreate in a laboratory the conditions that existed seconds after the big bang? What are space and time made of?
You will study from a selection of modules that could include 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.

YOUR THEORETICAL PHYSICS EXPERIENCE
A flexibly structured degree path means you have the opportunity to work in industry for a year, either locally, nationally or overseas.
Daily contact with approachable teaching staff will shape your studies. You will be taught by world-leading scientists through lectures, laboratory work, feedback sessions, projects and small group sessions.
Research links with CERN and the anti-matter work of the ALPHA Collaboration ensure that teaching is informed by the latest research. They may also give you the chance to undertake a final year Masters project at CERN in Geneva.
Our Physics Society was voted the best Physics Society in the UK at the University Student Networks Annual Societies Forum 2017.
If you reach a required standard in your opening years of BSc study, you may be invited to transfer to the four-year MPhys scheme.
THEORETICAL PHYSICS EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
You’ll graduate with a range of transferable skills such as analysis, lab techniques, report writing and a high level of digital technology skills. You’ll also be highly numerate, which many employers value highly.
Swansea University helps you to prepare for your future career by helping you to find work placements and relevant part-time jobs, offering year in industry options, as well as introducing you to employers such as McLaren, CERN and British Nuclear Fuels.
We offer CV workshops and you will have access to our Employment Zone, which advertises work placements, part-time vacancies and graduate jobs. We have dedicated staff who will always be on hand to provide employability support, throughout your studies.
We take Employability seriously and you will leave Swansea University with much more than a degree, gaining invaluable life skills and experiences on your journey.
