BSc (Hons) Engineering Physics (with placement year)
Our BSc Engineering Physics degree applies physical principles to engineering and technology, equipping you with the fundamentals of physics and drawing on Loughborough's well-established expertise in engineering to help you engineer solutions to real-world problems.Many technologies from the simple lightbulb through to all aspects of the modern smartphone would simply not exist without the profound connection behind engineering physics. Studying Engineering Physics will equip you with a variety of skills that have many exciting real-world technical applications.Our BSc Engineering Physics degree builds on the core Physics course with streamed engineering content (selected at the end of Year 1) to ensure a coherent strong development in your chosen engineering specialisation, with a flavour easily recognisible to employers.We offer streams in materials engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical and manufacturing engineering.Throughout the Engineering Physics course you will combine the study of physics with the study of modern engineering methods and supporting mathematics, allowing you to immerse yourself in innovative projects with the support of the new world-class facilities and equipment offered by STEMLab.Loughborough University's STEMLab will provide you with unique opportunities to undertake innovative engineering physics projects supported by facilities across disciplines such as electrical engineering, materials science and additive manufacture - at one of the UK's leading universities for engineering.The option of undertaking a placement year will allow you to gain skills and knowledge sought-after in the workplace, making our graduates highly employable.You will be taught by internationally renowned staff, who are experts in their field. In the Department of Physics our staff are not only known for wanting to share their passion for the subject with you, but to also provide the academic and pastoral care you require throughout your studies.
