Physics Joint-subject Degree Student Profile

Amanda Hemmings
MPhys Physics with Philosophy

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at York and met some fantastic people. That's one of the advantages of studying a combined subject; you get to meet so many different people with diverse interests. York is a friendly city with a fantastic range of pubs and close enough to Leeds for the serious clubber.

Studying physics with philosophy is not easy but is very rewarding

The Physics Department is welcoming and you don't feel like you are just a number like some of my sixth form friends did in their departments. I got to know many of my lecturers well, and there was always someone to ask for help. The philosophy department is very supportive and has inspiring lecturers in many of the subjects you are likely to study.

Studying physics with philosophy is not easy but is very rewarding; you develop a range of skills that few other students can match. I found this stimulating while studying, and now that I have graduated, very useful.
