Course summary

The MSci Mathematics and Physics degree focuses on mathematical rigour and theoretical aspects of physics taught by discipline experts. Mathematics and Physics are closely interlinked subjects, with each providing many fascinating insights into the other. The course provides a parallel track of theoretical physics taught by the Physics Department and mathematical physics and applied mathematics options taught by the Mathematics Department which culminates in the opportunity to study particle theory, superstrings, modern theories of electronic structure, and vibrational properties of materials including superconductivity in Year 4.The first year lays the foundation in physics theory, mathematical skills and laboratory skills that are needed to tackle more complex content later in the course. As the course through progresses the level of theoretical content increases, extending your knowledge in areas such as electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, particle theory, and advanced mathematical theory. The MSci has the same course structure as the BSc with an equal balance of Mathematics and Physics to provide an essential foundation. From the third year, the MSci introduces a wider range of modules that are more closely aligned to real-world issues and an advanced project in the final year. You can also apply for a one-year work placement, increasing the course from four years to five or the potential to substitute the existing Year 3 with a Year Abroad. The Institute of Physics recognize this degree.
