The course

From subatomic scales to intergalactic distances, physics can help you understand how our universe behaves. By studying physics, you can solve unanswered questions and design new solutions to global problems. You also learn about the link between prediction, observation, and analysis: the scientific method that helps us develop and test evidence-based theories. Finally, physics develops your wider skills; obviously, you can gain strong quantitative and analytical skills, but you can also improve your communication, project management, and teamwork skills.

Why study Physics at Lincoln

We have a thriving physics community at Lincoln, made up of undergraduates, graduates, and tutors. Lincoln College is in the centre of Oxford, close to the Physics department and lecture theatres. We have a beautiful library with physics textbooks and substantial study space. As an undergraduate, you will receive specialist tutorials from our team of tutors. You will meet your tutors several times a week to discuss topics from lectures and questions testing your knowledge. Our tutors are subject experts who will provide you with individual feedback to help you achieve your best. Tutorials are a great opportunity to learn about new ideas in small groups, ask questions, and study in a supportive environment.

Admissions

We are looking for enthusiastic and highly-motivated students with the ability to analyse physical situations, formulate a problem in mathematical terms using physical principles, and then explore the physical consequences of the mathematical solution. In terms of grades, we require A*AA. This should include Mathematics and Physics, with the A* in Physics, Mathematics, or Further Mathematics.
