Mathematics and physics are natural subjects to combine at university. Comprehending high-level physics requires a strong mathematical foundation. Mathematical models are developed to explain our observations of the physical world. Discover how mathematics explains the physical world: Study two complementary subjects and develop the knowledge and skills to understand, model and solve complex scientific problems. You'll graduate with a powerful combination of analytical, quantitative and practical expertise. Develop expertise in physics: Build a strong foundation in physics and mathematics before exploring advanced topics such as quantum computing, nanomaterials, fusion plasmas and biophysics. You'll develop practical laboratory skills, learn to communicate scientific ideas and complete an original research project in your final year. Strengthen your mathematical understanding: Explore pure and applied mathematics while developing analytical and problem-solving skills. You'll learn how mathematical models describe real-world phenomena and build the quantitative techniques that underpin modern science, engineering and technology. Learn from experts across both disciplines: Study alongside internationally recognised physicists and mathematicians whose research informs your teaching. Develop advanced research expertise: Explore the topics that interest you most at an advanced level while benefiting from close links to research across
