If you want to use your mathematics skills to explore the concepts of fundamental physics, this integrated Masters is for you. It’s particularly relevant if you're interested in a career in research.
Alongside mathematics, you’ll learn the methods of theoretical physics, and apply them to areas such as particle physics, cosmology, and condensed-state and atomic physics. This focus means that you’ll spend less time on experimental techniques compared to other physics courses.
You’ll be taught by our world-leading researchers who are at the forefront of physics. Their work includes:
developing next-generation quantum computing devices
using the ATLAS detector at CERN
studying our universe using the James Webb Space Telescope.
This work informs your teaching – our modules are based on the latest faculty research. Topics may include:
lasers and photonics
perturbation theory
quantum mechanics
stellar and planetary physics
From sustainability to economics and modern languages, you take electives from other subjects to open your mind to other disciplines and tailor your degree to your interests. You can apply for a year studying abroad or going on a placement. In your final year, you’ll apply the skills you’ve gained to an advanced research project.
By graduation, you’ll have the advanced skills needed for a career in research or industry. You’ll be skilled in Python programming, transforming physics problems into mathematical statements and statistical analysis.
