Mathematics and Physics BSc (Hons)

Explore core topics across both subjects, including linear algebra, quantum physics, differential equations and particle physics. Choose from a range of fascinating optional modules – such as fluid dynamics, nuclear astrophysics, Galois theory and general relativity – and take an extended project, enabling you to tailor the course to suit your own interests. Your final research project will be carried out under the supervision of an academic who’s a leading researcher in the field. The outcomes of the project could even lead to a publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.  Formal lectures are complemented with work in our specialist radiation laboratories, which have recently been refurbished and enlarged at a cost £2.7m. As an undergraduate student you’ll use these labs to undertake experiments related to the Nuclear and Particle Physics module. You can apply to study for either a BSc or an MMath or MPhys. The latter two are direct routes to a masters qualification, known as an integrated masters. If you study toward one of the integrated masters, you’ll spend part of your last year doing a research project in either physics or mathematics.
