PHYSICS - BSC (HONS)

Our Single Honours Physics programme builds upon, and then goes beyond, the core topics defined by the UK Institute of Physics to provide both breadth and depth of study, with an additional emphasis on mathematics and computing as tools for physical problem-solving. This occurs in problem classes where practice problems are solved with staff and teaching assistants available to help, in laboratory teaching where practical and computational problems are addressed, and in directed work for assessment.

Job Opportunity Potential

96% of Keele graduates were in a job or further study within six months of graduating (DLHE, 2017)

A Physics degree from Keele will prepare you for many different careers. Employers value versatile, numerate graduates who can analyse, investigate and communicate. You could take up a role as a research scientist, medical physicist, geophysicist, software engineer, teacher, or take on roles that are not directly related to physics such as in management or public services.

You might branch out to become a science writer, chartered accountant or IT consultant. Single Honours Physics is also ideal preparation for further study; many of our graduates go on to master’s degrees or perform research at a doctoral level.
