Students choose to enter into one of three Moderatorships in Physical Sciences during their Senior Freshman year. The three Moderatorships or degrees are Physics, Physics and Astrophysics or Nanoscience.
In the third and fourth (Sophister) years students take a variety of core Physics courses, a choice of Open specialist Physics courses, Trinity Elective modules, as well as conducting a final year Capstone Research project. This is the broadest of our degrees with the greatest choice.

In the third and fourth (Sophister) years students take a variety of core Physics and core Chemistry courses and specialist Nanoscience courses, there is a choice of Open specialist Physics and Chemistry courses, Trinity Elective modules, as well as conducting a final year Capstone Research project in a Nanoscience topic. The Nanoscience Moderatorship is jointly taught by the Schools of Physics and of Chemistry and is also open to suitably qualified students from the Chemical Sciences (TR061) entry. The Nanoscience Moderatorship continues on from the previous Nanoscience, Physics & Chemistry of Advanced Materials Moderatorship.
