Physics and astrophysics at Hull is part of the School of Natural Sciences and sits within the Faculty of Science and Engineering.
Our degree courses - all ranked top five for teaching* - encourage you to explore the world from the sub-atomic scale to the cosmological scale under the guidance of internationally recognised experts.
The early part of your degree will give you grounding in core subjects such as quantum physics, relativity, particle and nuclear physics, solid state physics, light, fields and matter. Later, you'll cover specialist topics including galaxy formation, nanophysics, superconductivity and general relativity.
Gives you the skills and knowledge for entry on to a degree if you don’t quite meet the academic entry requirements.
We have partnerships with universities across the globe. Depending on your course, you can study for one trimester, or a full year, in another country.
Work in industry as part of your degree. Depending on your course, you can spend part of your degree on placement. See your course page for specific details.
Some courses combine undergraduate and postgraduate study. The integrated Masters year is an extra year after your standard degree.

There are a galaxy of reasons to study physics and astrophysics at Hull. There are excellent employment prospects after you graduate and opportunities to get involved in research that tackles unanswered questions. All of our courses are accredited by the Institute of Physics.
Our 'Changing face of physics' campaign was named 'Best practice in the UK' by the Equality Challenge Unit and resulted in an Athena Swan award.
Our undergraduates conduct real investigative research, with some of them publishing research papers before they've even graduated.
You'll have access to Viper - one of the most powerful supercomputers in the country - giving you the opportunity to address current and cutting-edge research problems.
This is a friendly, supportive subject area. Our tutorial system and regular individual feedback ensures that you'll get the help you need throughout your studies.
We have one of the country's best records for graduate employability. A physics degree equips you for a career in many fields, including data scientist, laser systems engineering, telecommunications, IT and computing, medical physics, teaching and lecturing, and nuclear engineer.
You can further boost your employment prospects by taking part in our 'WRIPA+' project. Funded by an Office for Students grant and led by Hull as part of our partnership with the White Rose Industrial Physics Academy (WRIPA), it provides opportunities for you to gain experience and connect with potential employers.
