- IELTS
- 6.5level requirementThis is the English requirement the university publishes for study at this level, not one printed for this course. Most departments ask for exactly this and some ask for more, so it tells you what to aim at rather than what you will be asked for. Send us the course and we will confirm the requirement it actually sets, including any minimum in each paper.

Overview
Physics with Astrophysics & Cosmology is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Physics splits the week between lectures and laboratory work, and the final stage is built around a supervised research project.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too.
Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
Entry requirements
Careers opportunities
Read by employers as one of the hardest quantitative degrees, and its graduates are hired well outside physics. Research posts require a doctorate; the larger destinations are technology, finance, engineering and teaching.
Roles graduates go into
- Research scientist, after a doctorate
- Data scientist or quantitative analyst
- Systems or instrumentation engineer
- Software engineer
- Medical physicist, after training
- Physics teacher, with a teaching qualification
Where they work
- Technology and engineering companies
- Finance and trading firms
- Defence, aerospace and national laboratories
- NHS medical physics
- Schools and universities
After the course
A doctorate for research, the NHS Scientist Training Programme for medical physics, or a PGCE for teaching.
