Physics with Theoretical Physics

About this programme

This course builds a strong foundation in core physics and mathematical methods for modelling physical systems. In the first two years, you’ll develop experimental, mathematical, computational, and data analysis skills, alongside professional and collaborative abilities. Year two includes a specialist theoretical module on analytical methods and symmetry in physical systems. In year three, you’ll study advanced theoretical methods, choose specialist options, and complete both an individual research project and a group project. Year four focuses on a major theoretical physics research project, showcasing your skills as an independent researcher. Projects are linked to cutting-edge research or emerging technologies, supported by advanced theoretical study in modern physics. The course draws on the school’s research strengths in areas such as astrophysics, cosmology, quantum and classical gravity, condensed matter, nanoscience, and quantum technology, with a growing emphasis on AI in scientific discovery.
