Degree studiesAt Hull, you will have an academic supervisor and tutor who will act as anexperienced guide on any issue that you wish to discuss, whether to do with yourcourse or something extramural.

Our degree courses are made up of many interrelated elements. Central to them arelecture classes which introduce you to the different topics but which differ fromschool lessons in that you have far more responsibility for your own learning. Thatis one reason why the university experience is so enjoyable. You will have todevelop the ideas presented in lectures, research into background material andpractise the application of concepts to new situations.

Of course, we help through tutorials in which small groups of students meet withtheir academic supervisor for discussion of particular issues (and sometimes forletting off steam on other matters). There are also tutorial classes for mathematicswhere questions can be discussed collectively.

Complementary to all these other methods of learning are the laboratory classeswhich, as your course develops, feature experiments tackled on an open-endedbasis and also experimental or computational projects, often carried out inassociation with departmental research groups. Writing reports and developingpresentation skills are an important part of your training too.

Transfer between coursesThe structure of our courses is designed to allow you the maximum degree of choiceand flexibility. As a result, transfer between courses is possible up to the end of thesecond year. For example, students without A level Mathematics can enter on theApplied Physics degree but can then change to any of the degree courses at the endof Year 1. However, if you think that you may wish to pursue an MPhys course it isadvisable to apply for this at the outset, to signal that possibility and avoid anysubsequent problem with funding.

AssessmentThis is based on a combination of examinations and continuous assessment whichtakes into account taught modules, laboratory performance and project work.Degree examinations in the BSc courses are taken at the end of each semester in thesecond and third years, and in the MPhys courses at the end of each semester in thesecond, third and fourth years.

AdmissionsOur entry requirements are shown on the inside front cover of this pamphlet. Wenormally require grades between CCB and BBB at A level, including Physics andMathematics. For the BSc in Applied Physics (F310), however, A level Mathematicsis not a mandatory requirement as the necessary material is introduced during thefirst year of study. Students on Applied Physics can transfer to one of the othercourses at the end of the first year, subject to satisfactory progress. Offers may varyaccording to individual circumstances.

Second- and third-year entryApplicants with suitable qualifications will be considered for direct entry to the lateryears of our degree courses.

International studentsWe welcome applications from non-UK students, and each will be consideredindividually.

Alternative qualificationsIn addition to the qualifications mentioned above there are other ways in whichentry requirements can be satisfied – see the inside front cover of this pamphlet.

Scholarships and bursariesSir Brynmor Jones Scholarships, worth £1,500 per year for two years (subject tocontinuing good performance), are automatically awarded to all students whoobtain A*AA at A level, including A level Physics and excluding General Studies.Students attaining equivalent standards (or better) in other qualifications can applyfor the same award. Note, however, that this provision is subject to change.

Scholarships of up to £1,500 per year are available to suitably qualifiedinternational students.

Students on our Physics withAstrophysics courses learn how

to use fundamental physics,including relativity and quantum

mechanics, to study celestial objectsand phenomena. On the four-year

MPhys, they can spend some of theirthird year at an overseas university or

observatory.

We emphasise therelevance andpracticalconsequences ofmodern physicaltheories in suchtopics as quantummechanics and solidstate physics.

Physics6

Our degree courses not only provide a thorough training in the basic conceptsof physics but also foster the important skill of being able to apply these toestablished and new areas in research, technology, engineering and science.We also stress the relevance and practical consequences of modern physicaltheories in such topics as quantum mechanics and solid state physics. Ourgraduates thus have the analytical abilities to tackle complex situations incontemporary science and, equally importantly, are able to initiate whateverpractical work is required.

A Single Honours degree is awarded on completion of each of the following courses.

• Applied Physics• Physics• Physics with Astrophysics• Physics with Nanotechnology

The course duration is normally four years for the MPhys and three years for theBSc. We do, however, offer a four-year BSc which includes a foundation year, afterwhich the course is identical to the three-year BSc.

The MPhys courses build on the solid foundation of basic physics taught in the BScand extend this in scope and depth. In the fourth year you will be exposed to theresearch environment of the department and will gain experience relevant tocareers in scientific and technological industries at the leading edge of research.

After graduation, and a prescribed training period, you will be eligible to seekChartered status (CPhys) through the Institute of Physics.

Project workIn the final year of all courses you will carry out a major research project, usuallyrelated to your option choice. This involves working with a research group in thedepartment or possibly with local industry. Recent final-year projects include

• Monte Carlo simulations of hard discs• laser ablation and processing of materials• holography using a diode laser source• textural analysis in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)• telescopic observation of man-made satellites• the Higgs boson: particle fact or mathematical fiction?• insect adhesion and friction• negative refractive index metamaterials• nanoparticle behaviour at liquid interfaces in a magnetic field• solar observations and predictions• improved conductivity of hole injection polymers for organic light-emitting

diodes (OLEDs)• optoelectronic properties of liquid crystals

Applied Physics (F310/F313)

‘As soon as I visited the University ofHull on the open day, I felt reallycomfortable and I knew that this waswhere I wanted to study.

‘I had always enjoyed physics atschool, so Applied Physics reallyappealed to me – it is a really variedcourse, with a great balance oflectures, tutorials and practical work.

‘The department is very friendly, andyou get to know everyone really well,including the lecturers, who are alwaysmore than happy to help you with anyproblems. Yes, the course is fairlyintensive, but ultimately a degree inphysics from Hull sets you up for acareer in industry, or even for a PhD.

‘I was lucky enough to be offered a PhDin the department, so it was easy todecide to spend another three yearshere!’

Physics with Nanotechnology (F3F9/F3FX)

The Physics andPhilosophy degreecourse bringstogether the mostrigorous andfundamental subjectsin the arts and thesciences.

Physics14

Joint Honours degree courses allow you to study two disciplines in equalproportion. Students are registered as members of the lead department. Thecourse described below is administered by, and students are allocated apersonal tutor from, the Department of Physics. A special induction session isheld in the first week of study so that students may become fully integratedmembers of both departments.

BSc Physics and Philosophy (FV35)Physics is at the heart of everything, and its laws are thought to be applicableanywhere in the universe. It can describe the beginning of space and the possibilityof time travel.

Philosophy frees the intellect and offers an alternative, but no less rigorous, route tounderstanding the nature of the universe and our place in it.

The Physics and Philosophy degree course is taught jointly by the Departments ofPhysics and Philosophy and brings together the most rigorous and fundamentalsubjects in the arts and the sciences.

First year (Semesters 1 and 2)In Year 1 the physics modules cover experimental physics and mathematicaltechniques, quantum and classical physics and an introduction to the nature oflight, fields and matter. In philosophy, you are introduced to basic ideas andprinciples and the methodologies used in philosophy today and throughout history.You also choose an optional module covering Greek philosophy, social and politicalthought or the foundations of empirical thought.

Second year (Semesters 3 and 4)In Year 2 the scientific and philosophical subjects introduced in Year 1 are furtherdeveloped and refined. In physics, you study the thermodynamic description ofphysical change and the classical, quantum and relativistic descriptions of nature.In philosophy, you study the nature of the scientific method and the limitations ofscience in explaining how the universe works. Additionally, you have the option todevelop your philosophical understanding by studying ways of knowing; minds,brains and behaviour; the philosophy of law; moral philosophy; nations andcultures; meaning and truth; and explaining gendered selves.

Third year (Semesters 5 and 6)Year 3 is based almost entirely on a wide range of optional modules, reflecting yourchanging and developing interests in physics, philosophy and their overlap. Aftercore modules in particles and fields, you can choose to study advanced topics inphysics including experimental applied science such as lasers andnanotechnological devices as well as fundamental ideas of the physical descriptionof the universe and change. In philosophy, you can study pleasure, pain and thewill; Wittgenstein on knowledge and certainty; gender, science and knowledge;virtues and vices; environmental philosophy; Kant; Aristotle’s moral philosophy;common experience and knowledge; and an introduction to contemporaryEuropean thought.

Our graduates havemoved into researchand developmentwith governmentorganisations, or intoindustrial areas suchas laser systemsengineering,telecommunicationsand optoelectronics.

Physics16

Our degree courses concentrate on the application of basic physics to a widerange of research, technological and engineering situations of industrial,scientific and medical interest. They are designed to train students for careersin industry and elsewhere.

The shortage of people with sound education in the basic methods of physics isbecoming increasingly evident, and our graduates have moved into industrialresearch and development, particularly in areas of high technology such as lasersystems engineering, telecommunications, optoelectronics, IT/computing oradvanced materials and medical applications. Others have progressed to work forthe MSc or PhD, or into research and development with government organisations.Yet others have used their technical background to build careers in teaching andlecturing, as well as in such diverse areas as finance, accountancy, generalmanagement training and consultancy.

Postgraduate opportunities

ResearchAlthough undergraduates are usually involved in research only during their final-year projects, the scientific interests of the staff are naturally reflected in the overallteaching. We have an international reputation for our work in the areas of lasersand their applications, theory and modelling, organophotonics and nanophysics.

This research is funded from a range of sources including the Engineering andPhysical Sciences Research Council and government and industrial establishmentsboth at home and abroad. Our work also benefits from strong interdisciplinary linkswithin the University and with other groups at the national and the internationallevel.

We offer research supervision and training leading to the degrees of MSc and PhD inexperimental physics and theoretical studies, including the computer modellingand simulation of complex physical processes.

Our postgraduates are eagerly sought after by employers and commonly find jobs inuniversities, research establishments, industry or commerce, both in the UK andabroad.

Taught MScThe department offers a taught postgraduate course in Physics leading to an MSc.This one-year course is based on taught modules taken in Semesters 1 and 2 and afull-time research project leading to the submission of a dissertation in Semester 3.

Careers and furtherstudy

Studying for a degree at the University of Hull is a unique experience. We aimto provide you with an education that offers both depth and breadth ofknowledge. To meet these ends the University has developed an optional FreeElective Scheme. This scheme enables the majority of undergraduate studentsto take one module a year from outside their main course of study.

So, how does it work?Each year you take 120 credits’ worth of modules.

What sort of subjects can I take?You can take almost any free elective module from outside your main course ofstudy, usually at your home campus. You can even take a module from anotherfaculty. You should discuss your choice of free electives with your supervisor.

What are the main reasons for participating?• The scheme gives you the opportunity to study a subject without having to

commit yourself to taking further modules in that subject area.• By taking a free elective you are able to follow up your interests as part of your

degree.• With a broader education you may acquire extra skills that will help you when

you enter the employment market.
