School: Faculty of Science and Engineering, School of Physical and Chemical Sciences. This four-year Bachelor of Science (Honours) program in Physics includes an integrated year spent studying at an overseas partner university. The curriculum covers core physics topics (e.g., classical physics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, modern physics) and can be tailored with optional modules, including streams in Theoretical Physics, Astrophysics, or Physics with AI. The year abroad, typically taken in the third year, provides an invaluable opportunity for international experience, cultural immersion, and studying physics in a different academic and cultural context at one of Queen Mary's English-speaking partner universities in the USA or Australia. While the year abroad does not contribute to the final degree award, it significantly broadens a student's perspective and enhances transferable skills crucial for global careers. The "Hons" designation indicates an undergraduate degree with a higher level of academic rigor and specialization. The program is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP) for the purpose of partially meeting the educational requirement for Chartered Physicist.

Career options for graduates of this program are broad and enhanced by the international experience gained. Potential roles include research and development scientist, data analyst, scientific programmer, engineer, consultant, and roles in sectors such as finance, technology, education, and healthcare. Graduates are well-prepared for entry-level positions or further postgraduate study (e.g., an MSci or PhD). The cross-cultural communication skills, adaptability, and independence gained during the year abroad are highly valued by employers in an increasingly globalized job market. Queen Mary's Russell Group status, its location in London (a major global city), and its strong employer links contribute to excellent graduate prospects.

Queen Mary University of London is a member of the UK's prestigious Russell Group, signifying high standards of research and teaching. It has a strong background in social justice, social mobility, and embracing diversity, creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment. As a campus university located in London, regularly voted the world's #1 student city, it offers students the benefits of a close-knit community within a vibrant global metropolis, providing unparalleled cultural, social, and professional opportunities. The integrated year abroad is a significant advantage, allowing students to gain valuable international experience, develop a global perspective, and enhance their CV for future employment. The program's IOP accreditation further validates its quality and relevance to professional physics careers.
