Mathematical Physics
Get ready to study on a course that celebrates our mathematical universe. We’ve crafted a mathematics and physics degree that’s perfect for those who excel in mathematics, but also want to learn about the world of physics.
Why study with us
- Our Mathematics provision is in the UK’s top 10 for student satisfaction (Complete University Guide, 2021). We have a low student-to-staff ratio, so you have plenty of opportunities to learn from our research-active staff.
- You can specialise in the mathematics behind physics – something that employers are craving. Reduced experiments to enhance the mathematical physics degree content.
- Physics and Astronomy ranks 2nd in the North West for research intensity (CUG, 2022). Research intensity is a measure of the amount of staff involved in high-quality research in the university.
About our Mathematical Physics degree
- In Years 1 and 2, your time will be devoted to IoP Core of Physics topics, including experimental work.
- You’ll gain a deeper mathematical understanding of physics.
- We offer a common first year, meaning our students can switch to another programme, where available.
