This programme offers a four-year route to the BSc (Hons) degree programmes offered by the Department of Physics. You follow the foundation year at Carmel College, St Helens, about nine miles away from the main University campus. It offers small class sizes and high academic standards. You then opt to follow any of the Physics programmes. At Carmel College, you will take three foundation modules chosen from Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology or Geography, depending on which degree route you want to follow. In your second year, you will attend the University of Liverpool and take the same modules as other students on your chosen programme.

Physicists are trained to solve a wide range of problems. That's why graduates have gone on to explore careers in such diverse areas such as: Telecommunications Microelectronics Nuclear Power and Instrumentation Cryogenics Astronomy Geophysics Medical Physics Materials Science Computing Teaching Business Finance and Management Physics graduates are currently among those earning the highest starting salaries in the UK, according to latest figures, and our graduates enjoy excellent opportunities for careers in research, industry, computing, teaching, business and finance. Work experience opportunities For those who are studying Physics on our Masters programme (F303) there will be opportunities to carry out summer work at an international research laboratory. This typically takes place during the summer break between your third and fourth year. The results obtained during your summer project will be brought back to Liverpool for a project report with a member of staff as your advisor and may form the basis for a more detailed project in your fourth year. Laboratories with which we have a close research relationship include TRIUMF in Vancouver, CERN in Geneva, the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble and the Cockcroft Institute at the Daresbury Laboratory, Warrington. Postgraduate opportunities Thanks to the reputation of our Department, our graduates enjoy unusually good opportunities to go on to postgraduate study, particularly in the fields of Condensed Matter Physics, Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics, Nanoscience and Energy. The Department is very well funded, and currently enjoys a high research income from the Research Councils in the UK. As a consequence, there are excellent opportunities for our undergraduates to study for research degrees and there are exceptional facilities at their disposal. Qualifying you for life The skills you will develop here are highly valued by employers, such as a practical approach to problem solving, strong powers of analysis, numeracy, good IT skills and the ability to communicate well.
