Program Overview

Biophysics is an interdisciplinary field that has led to some of the most significant developments in modern science. Our Physics with Biophysics BSc course will give you an understanding of fundamental aspects of physics and biophysics. You will study traditional Physics topics such as quantum mechanics, fields and waves and electromagnetism, while also learning about the physics of life. Approximately one quarter of the course is biophysics related – specifically, the application of physics, mathematics and computing to understand the workings of living systems. You’ll carry out extensive biophysics related project work in your third year to gain an insight into the skills and conduct of scientific research.
