I am very happy with my undergraduate degree in Theoretical Physics. The majority of my lecturers and supervisors have been kind, accommodating, and taught the material well. I have had mostly good experiences with lab demonstrators and tutors, though some of the lab equipment is rather old and should probably be replaced. Our Common Room in the Kelvin Building is an excellent space to study and build community. I do wish more of our lectures were actually in the physics building. I feel prepared by this course to hopefully go ahead with a PhD next year. read more

It's been really fun a lot has changed or been added while I was at school. This is possibly because we were one of the first years back after COVID. It's been challenging but I've learned a lot and would recomend it to anyone wanting to study physics but loves analysis and computational work. read more

Awful teaching, lecturers sometimes don't even know what is going on in their notes, and most have an awful manner of attempting to relay information across. Could use some teaching training before throwing these researchers into classrooms. Exams are very inconsistent with subject matter, and should be written to fit with the standards meted out by the IOP instead of focusing only on one topic from the entire syllabus! read more

Physics with Astrophysics, BSc Hons FullTime
Brilliantly crafted degree programme. There are plenty of pathways for progression throughout the degree in case the degree is found to be challenging. Lectures are nice for the most part with some lecturers just being outstandingly brilliant at their jobs. However it must be mentioned that most of the work will just be self study. Labs deserve special mention for being highly engrossing although intensive. read more
