Physics with Theoretical Physics BSc (Hons) With Placement Year

at Loughborough University

Modules
 

• Mathematics for Physics I
• Fundamentals of Laboratory Physics
• Computational Physics: Modelling, Simulation and Good Practice
• Methods, Philosophy and Frontiers of Physical Science
• Core Physics I: Foundations of Physics

• We normally expect applicants to have a minimum of grade 4/C in GCSE English Language and, for most courses, GCSE grade 4/C in Mathematics. A higher level of achievement in specific GCSEs is required for some courses and details of these are included in the relevant course entry.
• Applicants are normally expected to have at least three A levels
• Applicants are required to have the full International Baccalaureate Diploma with at least three subjects studied at Higher Level. As well as an overall points score, specific subjects and points will be required at Higher Level. Applicants taking IB Certificates at Higher Level outside of the full diploma may be considered on a case-by-case basis depending on overall profile, breadth and depth of study.

The cost of studying at Loughborough University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen. 

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £28,600 annually, to study in Loughborough University.

Our excellent industry links within the Department of Physics is a correlation to the strong track record in graduate employability. Our students graduate with transferable skills and are equipped with the necessary practical and theoretical knowledge required to progress in a professional science related career. The wide-ranging transferable skills allow our students to pursue non-physics careers such as education, management, and finance.
