Mathematical Physics
Mathematical physics celebrates our mathematical universe. Alongside the insight that physics brings, you will develop expertise in topics such as fluid dynamics and chaos theory.
Why study with us
- In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF), 90% of Physics research rated as world-leading or internationally excellent overall (4/3 stars)
- You can specialise in the mathematics behind physics – something that employers are craving. Reduced experiments to enhance the mathematical physics content.
- Physics and Astronomy is ranked 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.
What you'll do
- Years 1 and 2 of all our Institute of Physics accredited programmes are devoted to IoP Core of Physics topics, including experimental work.
- Intensified mathematical content; gaining a deeper mathematical understanding of physics.
- Common first year of study that provides students an opportunity to switch between all of our programmes if appropriate.
