As well as their chosen degree subject, our students are skilled in problem solving, analysis, critical reflection, oral and written communications, and negotiation. We evaluate the needs of each organisation and match these to the appropriate student through a competitive process.
Student Engagement
We deliver 3-year Bachelor’s (BSc) and 4-year integrated Master's (MPhys) degree programmes in general physics, and also with specialisations that reflect our research areas. Our graduates and post-graduates are highly sought after, and leave Lancaster with a range of transferrable skills that complement analytical, numerical and experimental skills.
