WHAT’S IT LIKE TO STUDY PHYSICS AT SALFORD? / Travel Opportunities Many of our Physics students have the opportunity of spending their second year studying at the University of Toledo, Ohio – considered a prominent leader in taking research from the laboratory and in to the world! / Institute of Physics (IOP) Accreditation Our courses are accredited by IOP, meaning they have been independently and rigorously tested to ensure they meet professional standards. The accreditation also means that our degrees satisfy the academic requirements for IOP membership and registered scientist (RSci), providing you with a route to Chartered Physicist status. / Societies At the University of Salford, we have a range of student-run societies which cover all aspects of student life, from academia to sports, politics to the environment, performance to faith. We also have a Physics society where likeminded students have a place to socialise, relax and enhance their skills. Members have also arranged trips across Europe, including Geneva to visit CERN, Brussels for the Atomium and planetarium, and Berlin to see The Archenhold Observatory!
such a friendly atmosphere “The Physics department has rent levels [of students] on the with both lecturers and diffe thing about Physics is how many course all mingling. The great do.” rsity – there’s so much you can doors it opens for you after unive sics Student Georgia Bradshaw, MPhys Phy
