B.Sc. Physics (with International Study) Full-time

Year: 3
2025/26 Session

It is a mandatory requirement to pass the module LH Group Studies (01109) in order to achieve an accredited degree. If students do not pass LH Group Studies but have achieved enough credits to graduate, they will receive the unaccredit version of the degree.

The University Regulations permit students registered to Joint degrees to vary their credit weighting in their second and final year. A minimum of 40 credits and a maximum of 80 credits must be taken in each discipline in both years (subject to a total number of 120 credits in each year). Students who undertake less than 160 credits in one of their disciplines will graduate with a major/minor degree.
Students must choose 1 Independent Study module from the department in which they are taking 60 or 80 Students take ONE of the following Independent Study modules
