Course summary
The Mathematical Physics degree programme is designed to give you a thorough grounding both in the fundamental theories of physics and the mathematical concepts needed to formulate, understand and develop them.Mathematical Physics covers a very broad range of subjects. For example: string theory cosmology particle physics physics of materials complex systems computational physicsIt would take a lifetime to describe in detail all the rich variety of physical phenomena which make up modern physics.In Mathematical Physics, we provide you with the tools to solve problems and grasp fundamental principles in depth.Alongside developing your critical thinking, the skills you acquire will enable you to specialise in whatever area of physics you choose, either theoretical or experimental.These skills also prove invaluable in many other areas outside physics, for instance in: engineering computing finance business managementUnique to the Mathematical Physics degree programme is that you will be taking courses both from the School of Physics and Astronomy and from the School of Mathematics.
Programme benefitsThe School of Physics and Astronomy has close links with the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, one of the UK's major centres of astronomical research. The Institute for Astronomy (IfA), one of the School's research institutes, is based at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh. You will be taught by academic staff with links to major research facilities across the world, including CERN, TRIUMF, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and a number of principal astronomy facilities. This programme is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP).
