Bachelor of Science in Physics and Philosophy

Program Overview

This course provides an exciting intellectual challenge from the outset. In year one, you will study physics, mathematics and philosophical topics such as metaphysics, the theory of knowledge and ethics.

Subsequent years allow you to study the overlap between physics and philosophy in depth. You will study the philosophy of science and the foundations and philosophy of physics.

This course allows you to develop a physicist's broad range of skills, including problem-solving, numeracy and communication. You will supplement these skills with a philosopher's ability to rigorously analyse complex texts and form coherent arguments on complex subjects.

In your third year, you will undertake a major project or dissertation within Physics, as well as an extended library research project in Philosophy. Project options within Physics include:

  • conducting original research as part of one of our research groups;
  • the Physics Education scheme centred on teaching in a school;
  • the Industrial Group Project, based on a real problem set by industrial partners. Past partners have included Sellafield, Bristol Zoo, Siemens and The Fat Duck restaurant.

Join our friendly department with a very active, award-winning student society. We support you to develop a broad range of experimental, theoretical and analytical skills, as well as to develop your understanding of how to apply your skills more widely. These are vital for a career in research or industry.

Our graduates have an excellent record of employment post-study. This is a testament to the value that employers place on the transferable skills that you will gain on this course.
