Bachelor of Science [B.S] (Physics with Extended Studies in Europe)

4 years
Full Time

₹24.2 L/Yr

£23,100 /Yr

Most forefront science takes place on an international stage, and this 4-year BSc degree includes a year studying abroad. It is aimed at students who wish to continue French or Spanish beyond school, along with delving deeper into the natural laws that govern our Universe.

Physics with Extended Studies in Europe Degree Highlights

Physics at Queen's was ranked 3rd in the country for research intensity in United Kingdom's most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF) exercise as published by the Times Higher Education.

Global Opportunities

  • In this degree you will spend one year abroad, learning physics in either France or Spain depending on your language background.
  • Students undertaking the Physics with Extended studies in Europe degree will spend a year studying physics in a University on mainland Europe.

Professional Accreditations

  • Accredited by the Institute of Physics for the purpose of exemptions from some professional examinations.

Professional Exemptions

  • You will have partially fulfilled the requirements to obtain the status of Chartered Physicist (CPhys) with the Institute of Physics.

World Class Facilities

  • You will be taught in our new state-of-the-art teaching centre, containing specialist laboratory equipment and computer facilities.

Internationally Renowned Experts

  • All of our faculty staff are research scientists in their own right; in the 2014 REF peer-review exercise, 88% of our research was judged as internationally excellent or world-leading, and QUB Physics was 3rd in the UK for research intensity.

Student Experience

  • Our students rated overall satisfaction in our BSc undergraduate physics degrees at 91% in the 2017 National Student Survey, above the average for UK Universities.

Career Prospects

Students are encouraged to apply for summer or extended placements with local companies. Employers who specifically seek our Physics students for placements include Seagate and General Electric. Some MSci projects are undertaken in collaboration with outside organisations, including local companies, the NHS, and national and international facilities.

Physics graduates earn 14 per cent more on average than other graduates (HESA 2014). They have a significantly lower unemployment rate on qualification and over a lifetime, only graduates in medicine or law earn more than those with a physics degree (Institute of Physics Careers Survey 2012).

Physics-related jobs are available in research, development, and general production in many high technology and related industries. These include medicine, biotechnology, electronics, optics, aerospace, computation and nuclear technology. Physics graduates are also sought after for many other jobs, such as business consultancy, finance, business, insurance, taxation and accountancy, where their problem-solving skills and numeracy are highly valued. In Northern Ireland alone in 2015, there were almost 59,000 jobs in physics based industries (Institute of Physics Report 2017).

About half of our students go on to further study after graduation. Some physics graduates take up careers in education, while a number are accepted for a PhD programme in Physics, which can enhance employment prospects or provide a path to a research physicist position. Most of the rest of our graduates move rapidly into full-time employment, most in careers that require a degree.

Skills to enhance employability

As part of the assessment within our modules, students will have to prepare reports, give presentations and work together within small groups. Students will become experienced in using spreadsheet and word processing software to analyse and communicate their findings. Additionally, basic computer programming is taught to allow computational modelling of physical phenomena, which can then be applied to many non-scientific areas of commerce and industry. The problem-solving and communication skills that are essential to scientific study are also recognised as important attributes for many other careers.
