It can easily be argued that physics is the most important of the sciences in shaping the world around us today. Technologies such as the simple lightbulb to advanced technologies such as the mobile phone would simply not exist without this subject. Physics goes much further than this though as it is a discipline that seeks to determine the laws of nature itself. Motivated by a desire to reflect and take advantage of Loughborough's research strengths in quantum physics, condensed matter, statistical physics and the physics of materials, the core Physics MPhys (Hons) course has recently been revised from the ground up and structured to provide what we believe will be an exciting and academically outstanding course. Assessment: Depending on the nature of the material, some modules are assessed by a mixture of coursework and examination (for example 25% coursework and 75% examination), whilst other modules are assessed by 100% coursework or 100% by examination. Career: A degree in Physics can lead to many and varied career opportunities. We strive to develop knowledge and practical abilities in our students that are valued in the workplace, including interpersonal and presentation skills. Many of our Physics graduates pursue careers in professional science and technical activities, manufacturing, information and communication, construction, and transport and storage. Others go on to work in education, human health or the finance sector.
