Explore the mathematical principles that define physics with our accredited BSc Theoretical Physics course. Build a detailed understanding of mathematical concepts and gain the fundamental knowledge of physics you’ll need for a successful career.
Our accredited three year BSc Theoretical Physics course puts an emphasis on the fundamental mathematics behind the principles of physics.
In your first two years, you’ll study fundamental physics theories like heat, motion and quantum mechanics. You’ll also build a more detailed understanding of mathematical concepts that underpin physics including vector calculus, linear algebra, and mathematical models.
You’ll gain hands-on experience in our specialist teaching lab, developing lab skills and learning how theories can be applied in the real world. You’ll also take part in programming classes, which will teach you skills that are valuable in a variety of graduate careers ranging from data science to computer game design.
In your third year, you’ll continue to explore essential concepts in theoretical physics in even more detail. You’ll develop your expertise by choosing a specialist pathway, such as mathematical physics, particle and nuclear physics, quantum technologies, or computational physics. You’ll also have the opportunity to branch out into a variety of areas through more in-depth optional modules.
You'll get the chance to investigate a real-world problem and refine your technical skills by completing a research project. You’ll choose from a range of different areas, including industrial group work, data science, physics education, our Quantum Information Laboratory, or a project working within a research group.
Accreditation
Accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP) for the purpose of fully meeting the educational requirement for Chartered Physicist.
