Mathematics and Physics, MSci (Hons)

The MSci in Mathematics and Physics emphasizes rigorous mathematical foundations and theoretical physics, delivered by experts in both fields. These interlinked disciplines provide insights into topics such as particle theory, superstrings, quantum mechanics, and superconductivity. The program begins with foundational modules in calculus, linear algebra, and physics principles, including laboratory skills, before advancing to complex areas like electromagnetism and thermodynamics. It maintains an equal balance of mathematics and physics, similar to the BSc, but introduces specialized modules and real-world applications from the third year.Students can opt for a one-year work placement or study abroad, extending the course. Assessment includes examinations, coursework, and a final-year research project, evaluated through oral and written presentations. The degree is recognized by the Institute of Physics, with subject options in Mathematics and Physics.
