Theoretical Physics, MPhys (Hons), with study abroad

Theoretical physics equips students with essential tools to construct the mathematical foundations of the physical world. Building on advanced physics knowledge, learners will develop theoretical techniques through mathematical analysis and computational methods to tackle complex problems. They will gain key analytical and research skills, produce industry-standard scientific reports, and simulate large-scale systems using supercomputers.Collaborating with world-renowned physicists and sophisticated equipment, students will explore fundamental questions and advance research boundaries. They will utilize supercomputers like York's Viking cluster to develop parallel code for modeling complex systems. Additionally, opportunities include a year at partner universities, promoting cultural immersion, confidence building, and valuable language skills.
