MPhys Physics with Philosophy
University of LincolnBrayford Pool, United Kingdom
Course overview
This joint degree programme introduces fundamental and applied physics, while developing a philosophical understanding of the world we live in and the place we occupy within it. Combining physics with philosophy offers students the chance to study, reflect on, and understand scientific material. Students can apply philosophical theory and ask the fundamental questions designed to investigate, enhance, and expand knowledge.
Students have the opportunity to learn from, and work alongside, our team of academics who can support and encourage them to apply imagination, creativity, and rigour to the solution of real-world problems. Individual and group projects during the course are designed to develop transferable skills. Those who choose to enrol on this MPhys programme continue their study for a fourth year at an advanced level.
They have the opportunity to examine topics in greater depth and undertake substantial additional project work.
