Maths and physics are closely interlinked, each one providing fascinating insights into the other. This joint degree offers a rigorous mathematical training, with the flexibility to complement it with theoretical physics modules from UCL Physics and Astronomy.
In the first year of this MSci course, you will take the same modules as the single-subject Mathematics students. You will gain a strong foundation in mathematics through core modules in algebra, analysis, applied mathematics and mathematical methods. The first half of the second year follows the same structure, except Quantum Mechanics may be taken in place of Algebra 3. In the second half of the second year and throughout the third and fourth years, you will choose from a range of relevant pure and applied mathematics options, supplemented by physics modules taught within UCL Physics & Astronomy. The balance between mathematics and physics can be adjusted to reflect your interests.
You will also complete a substantial supervised research project, which accounts for 25% of the credits in Year 4. With over 100 projects available, students benefit from a wide range of choices informed by the breadth and depth of the research profiles of both the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
This course is offered as a three-year BSc or a four-year MSci degree. The first two years of the course are identical, and students are advised to apply for the MSci degree in the first instance, as it is possible to transfer to the BSc during the first three years.
