The University of Newcastle upon Tyne
offers a range of undergraduate degrees in physics including Physics, Astronomy
and Astrophysics, Theoretical Physics, Physics with Medical Applications and
Chemical Physics. All of the above are available as either a 3 year BSc or 4
year MPhys. There is also a popular Foundation Year entry route which allows
students with non-standard qualifications access to these degree programmes.
The University operates the PARTNERS scheme
which is aimed at widening participation by encouraging applications from
students from disadvantaged backgrounds. One aspect of the PARTNERS scheme is
that applicants attend an assessed summer school at the university.
Research is concentrated in the areas of
Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics,
Nanoscale Science and Technology, and General Relativity and Quantum Field
Theory.
Newcastle University was awarded The Sunday
Times University of the Year for 2000-01.
