Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Physics] From Trinity College Dublin

The laws of physics are the laws which govern electricity and magnetism in modern devices such as mobile phones, computers, the internet, radio and television, the mechanics of aviation and space flight and the quantum mechanics underlying magnetic resonance imaging in medicine.

Physics: The course for you?

If you enjoy laboratory and computational work and have an interest in how fundamental physical theories such as quantum mechanics and electromagnetism explain the world that we live in, then this may be the course for you.

Trinity?s Physics course includes a strong background in core physics subjects as well as modules in condensed matter physics, semiconductor devices, metal physics, photonics, magnetism, superconductivity, nanoscience and high energy physics. Practical aspects of the course include modules in electronics and instrumentation. Physics at Trinity offers you the opportunity to study with world-leading experts in the School of Physics, with modules designed to provide you with a qualification for employment across a range of research and industry settings.

Graduate skills and career opportunities

All of Trinity;s Physical Science undergraduate degrees are accredited by the Institute of Physics, which is the professional body for physicists in Ireland and the UK. Holders of one of these degrees can follow a route to Institute of Physics Membership and the 'Chartered Physicist' (CPhys) professional qualification.?

Our graduates are always in high demand in Ireland and abroad in modern high-technology industries, as well as in teaching. You may also find a career in academic institutions, government and industrial research organisations and production facilities or in the meteorological service.
