Physics is the study of the universe--exploring the basic rules that dictate the behaviour of matter and energy, from subatomic particles to the evolution of galaxies. Physics is at the forefront of solving global challenges—be part of the innovation with our thought-provoking, Institute of Physics-accredited course. Not many universities can say they’ve been teaching physics since 1896. Or that they’re one of the birth places of string theory. Today we’re a hub for scientific excellence and home to academics leading the way in everything from materials for healthcare to the next generation of radiation detectors. Our courses are informed by our cutting-edge research. Not only will you hear about our work, but you’ll also have the chance to get involved with projects. In the first year you’ll build a solid foundation in both theoretical and experimental physics. In subsequent years, you will be able to tailor your degree to your interests and passion through our Physics Streams outlined below: Physics Theoretical Physics Astrophysics Physics with Artificial Intelligence Physics Stream: The most versatile stream. Pick and choose which subjects interest you and build a kaleidoscope of experimental, theoretical, and computational knowledge. Theoretical Physics Stream: This stream is the most mathematically oriented and abstract of our streams. Master the tools needed to push the limits of human understanding and solve the deepest problems that challenge us. Astrophysics Stream: Explore the universe by learning about the hunt for planets and life outside our solar system, the birth and death of stars, the formation of galaxies, and the mysteries of cosmology. Learn about the sky above us and our place in the universe. Use the observatory to enhance your quest. Physics with AI Stream: Learn about the technologies underpinning the 2024 Physics Nobel Prize. Our AI modules focus on programming, modern statistical methods, and machine learning. You will have the opportunity to apply your skills to an AI driven problem in your final year project. All streams culminate in a full year final project in your area of interest guided by an expert academic staff member. This is your chance to develop advanced problem-solving skills, gain hands-on experience, and prepare for a future in research, industry, or beyond. This programme is accredited by the Institute of Physics.
A Level: ABB | Including Maths and Physics with one being at grade A or above. Excluded subject: General Studies Please note: You will also be excepted to achieve a Pass grade in the practical endorsement for any of the following A levels - Biology, Chemistry, Physics, if taken with one of the Awarding Bodies in England. | GCSE/National 4/National 5 A minimum of five GCSE passes to include English and Maths at grade C or 4 or an acceptable equivalent will be required. | International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme: 32 UCAS points | 6,5,5 in HL subjects, including HL Mathematics and Physics with one being at grade 6. | Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016) | Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for. Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3. Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/ If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
