Theoretical Physics is aimed at students interested in the more mathematical and theoretical aspect of physics. The course provides a solid grounding in all aspects of physics, both theoretical and experimental, although a significant amount of practical work is replaced by lecture courses and project work in theoretical physics. In the first two years, you will study the topics of mechanics, applied mathematics and computational physics. In third and fourth year you will study in more depth topics of particular interest to you, for example, quantum theory, electromagnetic theory and advanced mathematical methods.
Students will have partially fulfilled the requirements to obtain the status of Chartered Physicist (CPhys) with the Institute of Physics.
