Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Astrophysics and Physics] From University College Cork

Physics and technologies developed by physicists play a major role in chemistry, biology, medicine, electronics, geology, and in the applied fields of optics, nanotechnology, computer science and engineering.Its concepts, from relativity to quantum mechanics, challenge the imagination.

A physics education not only develops problem-solving skills, it also provides a firm knowledge of basic science and the ability to apply and adapt that knowledge within the workplace.Staff across the disciplines of mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics teach modules on this course, which is one of the top two degrees offered by the school, thereby putting a wide breadth of mathematical knowledge and research experience at your disposal.

This is evidenced by the high level and the wide range of final-year undergraduate projects which we offer.Written exams will take place before Christmas and in May. Not all modules will have formal examinations. Many modules use other types of assessment.
