You’ll get to conduct experiments in our dedicated ionising radiation laboratory, lead a year-long project in your final year, apply for a year in the industry and will have the opportunity to volunteer in our research labs.
Why choose this course?- You’ll learn in inspiring environments. We have a custom-built, on-campus observatory recognised by the International Astronomical Union, a radio telescope, a CT scanner, new microscopes, MRI scanners, a scanning tunnelling microscope and an ionising radiation laboratory. This ensures you get the practical experience you need to pursue a successful career.- You’ll study innovative, accredited courses. Our pioneering courses and research are carried out in close collaboration with universities and industry partners worldwide, giving our students skills and knowledge which are highly relevant to the needs of the industry. Our undergraduate MSci and BSc physics courses are accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP), which will help you to achieve Chartered Physicist status sooner.- You’ll help to deliver research with impact. Our physics staff contribute to research activity in a number of areas, including Superhydrophobic Surfaces, Medical Resonance Imaging, Art Conservation and Space Weather. Approximately ten of our students undertakes paid summer placements in these research groups every year. NTU has recently been awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for research – the highest national achievement.- You’ll have the opportunity to get experience. Our courses offer the opportunity to apply for a placement in the UK or abroad, giving you the real-life experience employers are looking for.
