Physics with Mathematics, MPhys (Hons)

The MPhys Physics with Mathematics degree fosters a deep understanding of mathematics as the foundational language of theoretical physics, enabling students to apply it in solving problems across physics and related disciplines. Students integrate experimental and theoretical physics with advanced mathematics, studying topics such as quantum physics, electromagnetism, special relativity, linear algebra, vector calculus, and general relativity. This program builds strong analytical, modelling, and computing skills, preparing graduates for diverse career paths and advanced research, including PhD studies.Typical modules include: Year one focuses on electricity, magnetism, and basic physics skills; Year two covers classical mechanics, quantum physics, and vector calculus; Year three explores atomic physics, relativity, and a dissertation; Year four features advanced general relativity and a major project. Throughout, students develop transferable skills like problem-solving and data analysis, supported by career sessions. Assessment combines examinations, coursework, and projects, with later years emphasizing reports and oral evaluations.
