Course description
This course provides a coherent combination of subjects of interest to the student whose primary aim is a degree in physics but who wishes also that have an excellent background in the techniques of business and management, especially as applied to science-based commerce and industry. The study of physics is enhanced by placing the professional work activities of physicists in research, commercial and industrial settings, explaining their role in these settings and the commercial and operational contexts of their activities. You are also introduced to a range of methods used in organisational management and acquire the ability, knowledge and skills which underlie the management process.
It is possible to transfer to the 4-year MPhys course at the beginning of your third year.
