What’s it about?
Physics underpins much in our everyday lives. Basic magnetism theory has led to life saving equipment such as CAT, PET and MRI scanners. Photonics research has led to CDs, LED displays and barcode scanners. In fact much of technology today – mobile phones, solar panels, hydrogen cars, computer technology, music technology and many more – is founded in physics. As a result physicists are in great demand in almost every walk of life.
A unique part of the Salford physics degree is our emphasis on employer engagement. Professional physicists from employer organisations, such as Salford Royal Hospital, the Royal Navy, BDP Acoustics, Atkins Global and OpTIC Technium, will be coming in to talk about real-life situations of working in industries where physics graduates are sought after. This will be followed by problems to solve related to the industry of the guest speaker.
As a Salford physics graduate you will have no shortage of skills. Our teaching methods and physics programmes provide you with skills that are relevant in any working environment. As well as being highly numerate, analytical and logical, the chances are that you’ll also be a creative thinker – capable of communicating effectively, managing projects and excellent at problem solving and negotiating.
What will I learn?
The core modules for the BSc (Hons)/ MPhys (Hons) Physics programme form the basis of study in each degree. You can take extra modules from any of our other degrees. This allows you to keep your options open and study subjects which interest you most.
Core modules include: • Mechanics • Atomic Physics • Nuclear Physics • Electromagnetic Theory • Statistical Physics • Condensed Matter • Laboratory Physics
Physics with Acoustics This programme combines traditional core physics with modern acoustics. Specialist topics you will study include audio systems, human factors in acoustics and musical acoustics.
Physics with Studies in North America This programme provides you with a year’s experience in a North American university such as the University of Toledo, Ohio and the University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Physics with Pilot Studies You will cover a broad range of legal and technical aviation issues for those with a general interest in flying or those considering a career as a pilot or in the aviation industry. The programme also includes regular flying training at an extra cost to your normal fees. Please see the BSc (Hons) Aviation studies with Pilot Studies for details on costs.
How will I learn? Teaching is delivered through lectures, tutorials, laboratory classes and workshops, research projects and directed study. Each module is accompanied by problem solving tutorials that enhance your ability to deal with practical problems.
Can I get work experience?
All physics programmes offer the opportunity to take a year out on placement, which is arranged by your placement tutor. Companies that regularly take our students include British Aerospace, BNFL, NPL and United Utilities.
There is also the option to study overseas in Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Spain and the USA. Teaching is in English (except France and Spain) and all EU exchanges are supported by an Erasmus grant.
Where can I get a job?
You will be able to advance into a wide variety of careers with a degree in physics. You can continue into science and engineering or research and development. Some graduates also move into areas such as management training, or even accountancy, where their analytical training gives them a real advantage.
Our graduates have been employed by companies such as Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA), EADS Astrium, and the National Physics Laboratory.
