Physics (BSc)
Is this programme for you?
You are resourceful and interested in the laws that govern natural phenomena. You are capable of logical and abstract thought and can distinguish between main and secondary issues. You enjoy physics classes at school and you achieve good grades for science subjects in general. You will need to be exceptionally good at mathematics because physicists use maths as a language for describing the universe.
What are the smallest building blocks of matter? Why can some materials conduct electric current without resistance? What are gravitational waves? This programme is for inquisitive people who want to know how the world around us works. People with this attitude have been responsible for many of the world's ground-breaking theories and applications. Are you one of them?
Why study Physics at the University of Groningen?
You can choose from four specialisations: Particle Physics, Nanophysics, Biophysics and Medical Physics, or Energy and Environmental Physics.
We offer both Physics and Applied Physics. You may switch between the two in your first year.
Your lecturers include researchers who have gained a worldwide reputation. Our faculty is the home of the 2016 Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry, Ben Feringa, and the Nobel Prize Winner in Physics, Frits Zernike.
The linked Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials is ranked in the top 15 of its kind worldwide.
How to apply
The minimum entry requirements of this programme are three A-levels to include Maths and Physics.
Career opportunities
Researcher within an institute or a university, project leader within a consultancy firm, positions in industrial, software or IT companies or banks, geophysicist, metallurgist, nanotechnologist.
