This course is designed to produce graduates who have a broad knowledge of physics, with particular skills in both astrophysics and theoretical physics. To fit these additional components into the course, there is reduced laboratory content. You will have a sound understanding of the theories and principles underpinning theoretical physics and astrophysics and will have explored them independently in a major theoretical project. You will have developed transferable skills including problem-solving, communication, and mathematical skills. The Institute of Physics accredits bachelor and integrated master’s degree programmes for the purposes of the professional award of Chartered Physicist. Chartered Physicist requires an IOP accredited degree followed by an appropriate period of experience during which professional skills are acquired.
