Physics challenges our imaginations with concepts like relativity and string theory and leads to great discoveries about how the world works.
Physics is the most fundamental of sciences. At its most basic, it is about explaining and predicting what happens in the physical universe. This covers topics so vast they don’t get much bigger, such as "How the universe has evolved into its present state?" to topics of daily importance such as "Will the car I’m in stay on the road as it corners?" or "Will an artificial hip joint last as long as the patient?"
Physics encompasses the study of the Universe from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles and is the basis of many other sciences, including chemistry, oceanography, seismology, and astronomy. Discoveries in Physics make possible technological innovations like transistors and the microchip, computers and lasers which in turn change our lives.
With a Physics degree therefore, you are qualified to enter a vast variety of careers. Graduates become involved in meteorology, medical physics, environmental monitoring, astronomy, particle physics, geophysics, materials science, invention, design, teaching and even financial modelling.
Staff in the Department of Physics have a wide range of research interests ranging from understanding the fundamental nature of the universe with research into quantum gravitational theories through to solid state physics (understanding the atomic structure of complex materials and semiconductor device physics). There is also a large number of researchers working at the interface between physics and other disciplines or applying mathematical modelling skills to understanding problems in the life sciences such as epidemiology (e.g. spread of infectious diseases) or systems biology.

Careers
With a good numerate and technical degree such as Physics, employment prospects are excellent.
Many graduates become professional scientists in industry, research institutes and universities. Physics graduates also use their quantitative and data analysis skills in a variety of different ways in industry and commerce. Many Physics graduates command high salaries in the computing and financial sectors. In addition, there is a shortage of Physics teachers in schools throughout the UK. In some specialist areas such as meteorology, biomedical physics, space science, remote sensing, geophysics and other physics related subjects, it is usual to study for an MSc degree to obtain further knowledge.
Many Physics graduates may wish to obtain a PhD degree, either in Physics or a related area, to provide additional skills that are valued by academic, industrial and commercial organisations.
Career Opportunities
There are various options through which a student can get a post study work visa in the UK.
Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur Visa for the graduates with a genuine and credible business idea.
Tier 2 (General) is the leading immigration visa to work in the UK.
Tier 4 Doctorate Extension Scheme is for students who have completed their Ph.D. and is valid for 12 months for them to work, look for work or set up a business.
Tier 5 Youth Mobility is for individuals of certain countries like Australia, Canada, Japan, Monaco, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, and New Zealand aged between 18 -30 who wish to move to the UK.
Tier 5 GAE is for individuals who want to come to the UK for work experience, training, research or a fellowship.
UK Ancestry is for individuals who are a citizen of a commonwealth and plan to work in the UK and have a grandparent who was born in the UK.
