Applied Physics

There is no direct entry to the programme via CAO. All entries to this programme are via DC175 Physics General Entry. 

On successful completion of Physics General Entry you will progress to Year Two of one of the following, and complete three further years of study: 

• BSc in Applied Physics
• BSc in Physics with Astronomy 
• BSc in Physics with Biomedical Sciences

As one of the most fundamental sciences, physics has fuelled many of the scientific and technological developments that we take for granted. Physicists have pioneered modern technologies as diverse as the Internet, nuclear power and MRI scanners. Today physicists continue to lead innovation in areas such as quantum information and communications technology, nanosystems design, ultrafast molecular switching and terahertz medical imaging.

DCU’s Applied Physics degree provides a solid physics foundation and invaluable laboratory exposure, with an overarching emphasis on real-life technological skills and applications. The analytical abilities and problem-solving skills you’ll develop will also make you a standout candidate on the job market and serve you throughout your career.
