Program Overview

In many ways, the principles of physics underlie all sciences, and the UCC programme offers excellent education in both experimental and theoretical physics.

Physics, and technologies developed by physicists, play a major role in atmospheric science, chemistry, biology, medicine, electronics, geology, energy, optics, nanotechnology, computer science and engineering.

An education in physics provides problem-solving, analytical, computational, mathematical and IT skills, and can lead to a wide range of careers in these and many other fields.

As a BSc Physics graduate of UCC, you will have:

• a thorough grounding in experimental methods
• highly marketable problem-solving skills
• knowledge of theoretical and mathematical aspects of physics normally acquired only with a degree in theoretical physics.

The course is internationally accredited by the Institute of Physics.
