Physics with Theoretical Physics

About this programme

Develop your appreciation of theoretical physics in this professionally accredited integrated Master’s course. Investigate how the principles and laws of physics underpin most science and engineering disciplines on this four-year course. You'll develop your appreciation of physics, mathematics, computational and experimental methods over the first three years of study. You'll then complete an additional year of Master's level study. During your final year, you'll apply your expertise to a substantial project exploring a given theoretical physics topic in depth. Problems in physics can relate to phenomena on gigantic scales such as the cosmos, minutely small ones, and virtually any other scale in between. This course will enhance your problem-solving skills and is particularly suited to those with a specific interest in mathematics and its application in physics. You'll be situated in a department at the forefront of research, with teaching guided by world-leading researchers with a high level of expertise in their specific field. You'll explore a range of topics including electromagnetism, relativity and quantum physics, and improve your mathematical skills on dedicated modules. The third and fourth years offer you greater flexibility to specialise across a variety of optional modules, enabling you to take advantage of the department's diverse research specialisms.
