Join a University ranked in the UK top five for both Physics and Mathematics research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning.

If you love the challenge of thinking through a maths question and the satisfaction of having solved a difficult problem, but also appreciate the applications of mathematics in areas of physics and want access to the exciting and specialised subjects offered by the School of Physics, then this joint honours course can offer you both.

Your mathematics study will focus on the areas of applied mathematics that are most linked to physics, such as the mathematical modelling of physical problems, quantum mechanics and random matrix theory. You will also cover a range of topics in physics, such as special relativity, electromagnetism and superconductors.

Think Big bursaries of £3,000 are available to support first-year international undergraduate students in this subject area.

This course is accredited by the following organisations

The Institute of Physics (IOP) for the purpose of partially meeting the educational requirement for Chartered Physicist.

Course structure

In the first and second years of this course, the units are fixed to provide a balanced exploration of mathematics and physics and the connection between them.

In your third year, you will have the freedom to select from a wide variety of relevant units to focus your studies on what interests you most. You can also choose from a physics project or dissertation in one of our cutting-edge research areas, a group project with an industrial partner, or an educational project with a local school.

Full details about the course structure and units for this course can be viewed in the programme catalogue.
