Program Overview

Why choose this course

If you have a passion for understanding the Universe and a love of mathematics, our mathematics and physics courses could be perfect for you.

Taught jointly by the two departments, our BSc, MMath and MPhys courses give you a deeper understanding of mathematics and explore how it’s applied to solve physics problems. Whether you think of it as applied mathematics or theoretical physics, this joint programme gives you the best of both worlds.

Two unique aspects of these courses are:

Our placement programme:
As part of our BSc, you can take a paid role in a research laboratory or company and gain valuable industry-relevant experience on our award-winning Professional Training placements scheme. On our MPhys or MMath, you can take a research placement in one of our world-leading research groups or at one of our international partner institutions.
Our focus on undergraduate research and innovation:
Undergraduates have the opportunity to apply for paid summer research placements with our research groups and those of our South East Physics Network partners. We offer in-house grants that students can apply for to fund a research placement, attend a conference or develop a new business idea.
