Mathematics with Theoretical Physics, BSc (Hons), with industry placement

Gain deep insights into modern theories of nature through powerful mathematical techniques, equipping you with the language to describe, analyze, and predict natural phenomena. Lectured by world-leading theoretical physicists with strong links to CERN, the European Light Infrastructure, and the UK’s Central Laser Facility, you will study foundational modules such as Classical and Quantum Mechanics, and Electrodynamics and Relativity. Researchers demonstrate how mathematics underpins cutting-edge physics, including linear algebra taught by a collaborator of a 2018 Nobel Prize winner.Undertake an in-depth final-year project on topics like quantum computers, black holes, teleportation, or the quark model, supervised by academics connected to global institutions including CERN and Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Access state-of-the-art facilities in our £50 million building, master programming in Python, R, and parallel computing on supercomputers, and boost employability via an optional paid industry placement. Graduates advance to research, roles at the Met Office or GCHQ, finance, industry, medicine, or postgraduate studies in applied mathematics and theoretical physics.
