Undergraduate Physics Degrees
We offer a range of accredited physics degrees including integrated master's degrees.
Taught by experts
Physics teaching is done by leading researchers in the subject. We're a friendly department, with a very low student to staff ratio. Our academics get to know each of their students individually.
Our academics' specialisms give you access to diverse fields of study, including:
- cosmology and relativity
- quantum physics on macroscopic scales
- next-generation Gallium Nitride electronics for green technologies
- understanding exotic quantum matter
- development of new photovoltaic technologies
Access high-specification physics facilities
You'll get hands-on experience with specialist equipment and work in our high-spec facilities. This helps you develop practical skills for a wide range of physical science careers.
In this video follow Aggie and Alex as they take you on a tour of the extensive physics facilities and labs here at Newcastle University.
