PHYSICS SINGLETON PARK CAMPUS
Foundation Year available Global Opportunities available International Students STUDENT SATISFACTION (Guardian University Guide 2020) IN THE UK ST
From quantum information to high energy particle physics; astrophysics to string theory; dark matter to quantum gravity; anti-matter to ultra-fast lasers; quantum biology to next generation semiconductors; medical physics to machine learning. Studying Physics at Swansea you’ll discover the exciting breadth of the subject and change your future.
The Physics Department was one of the four founding departments of the University and on our centenary year warmly welcomes you to study your physics degree with us. You will learn and understand how fundamental physics underpins the latest advances of the discipline and how applying physics, leads to innovations in; engineering, medicine and technology. Our teaching is informed by the latest research, e.g. the anti-matter ALPHA Collaboration at CERN. Our broad range of BSc and Master's projects reflect the research interests of the department and include the possibility of a Master's project at CERN in Geneva. Through our state-of-the-art facilities you will be introduced to research. Whether it is designing the next-generation photovoltaics, observing ultra-fast processes using lasers or using high-performance computing to model dense quark matter. MPhys students have the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at the University of Houston, USA in the first semester of Year 3. Physics at Swansea offers many possibilities alongside consistently high student satisfaction rates and an inclusive learning environment.
