• Foundations (40 credits): physics topics such as mechanics, electrodynamics, optics, thermodynamics, modern physics, condensed matter and statistical physics.
• Mathematics (34 credits): vector and matrix algebra, multivariable calculus, probability and modern mathematical methods in physics.
• Information science (23 credits): programming, numerical algorithms and machine learning.
• Applied science, technology and design (47 credits): measurement methods and technology, CAD, computer control, electronics, sensing, applied chemistry and elective engineering subjects.
• Specialisations (31 credits): students choose from Nanotechnology and Quantum Applications; Nuclear Technologies and Sustainable Energetics; Scientific Data Processing.
• Additional skills (10 credits): communication, professional English, management and presentation skills.
• Other (10 credits): any university course.
• Internship: a 6‑week practical placement.
• Thesis work (15 credits).

Entry requirements

Admission is a multi‑stage process: (i) optional pre‑screening using high‑school graduation results, motivation and recommendation letters; (ii) an electronic online written admission test in mathematics and physics; (iii) an online interview in English assessing knowledge, preparedness, communication, motivation and attitude after passing the written test; (iv) a final decision where applicants achieving at least a 70% admission result are offered a place.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared for roles bridging science and technology in areas such as quantum and nanotechnology, photonics, AI and data science, energetics, nuclear technology, semiconductor and medical device sectors, and automotive or R&D companies. Employment is possible directly after the BSc, or graduates may continue to engineering MSc programmes or MScs in Physics or Applied Mathematics, with MSc completion enabling entry to PhD study.
