- Gain the expertise employers search for and join a research team in your final-year project for careers in industry or academia.
- Benefit from our paid work opportunities and build practical skills, including summer teaching and research, and outreach roles year-round.
- Learn from world-leading researchers and apply theory to scientific issues with professional facilities, including our ATLAS detector and James Webb telescope.
If you want to use your mathematics skills to explore the concepts of fundamental physics, this course is for you.
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:
- understanding quantum effects in black holes
- quantum gravity
- particle physics phenomena.
This work informs your teaching – our modules are based on the latest faculty research. Topics may include:
- lasers and photonics
- perturbation theory
- quantum mechanics
- Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism.
In your third year, you’ll join a research team for your final-year project. You’ll carry out an individual research project with a research-active academic, tackling open-ended questions. You can also apply for a year studying abroad or going on a placement.
By graduation, you’ll have gained the skills employers are looking for. You’ll be skilled in Python programming, transforming physics problems into mathematical statements and statistical analysis.
