How did I choose my degree?

I have really enjoyed studying physics at Durham – there are so many interesting and unfamiliar concepts to tackle. In first year, I learnt about many new concepts in special relativity and quantum physics, and I personally found these to be the most interesting topics covered. There are also mathematics modules and a lab…
