If you are passionate about how things work and enjoy scientific experiments and mathematics, you should study physics – the study of the universe, from the largest galaxies to matter itself.
Physics and technologies developed by physicists play a major role in chemistry, biology, medicine, electronics, geology, and in the applied fields of optics, nanotechnology, computer science and engineering.
Its concepts, from relativity to quantum mechanics, challenge the imagination. A physics education not only develops problem-solving skills, it also provides a firm knowledge of basic science and the ability to apply and adapt that knowledge within the workplace.
The programme at UCC offers excellent education in both experimental and theoretical physics.
Physics, and technologies developed by physicists, play a major role in atmospheric science, chemistry, biology, medicine, electronics, geology, energy, optics, nanotechnology, computer science and engineering.
An education in physics provides problem-solving, analytical, computational, mathematical and IT skills and can lead to a wide range of careers.
You will enter the jobs market with a top-class numerate degree from one of the strongest mathematical sciences departments in the country.
