This course is accredited by the Institute of Physics (iop.org), guaranteeing the standard of our teaching and learning. In this course you'll gain the same broad background in advanced physics as your single-subject peers, enhanced by the study of the grand theories of metaphysics, ethics and logic. You'll learn key skills for analysing real-life problems and communicating complex ideas and arguments - great preparation for work or further study. Most of your assessment will be by formal examination. You'll also be marked on regular problem exercises and laboratory work, coursework and formal report writing. On completion of this course many of our graduates progress to postgraduate degrees at York and other leading universities. However, the skills you will learn - analysis, mathematics, problem-solving - are relevant in industries from finance to software development.
