Mathematics and Physics MPhys

Our MPhys Mathematics and Physics degree is ideal for those looking to combine the logic and proof of mathematics with the profound insights into the physical world offered by the study of physics.There is a profound connection between physics and mathematics. It is not simply that mathematics is a useful tool, but as put by Galileo Galilei: "The book of nature is written in the language of mathematics.”For example, consider Emmy Noether’s ground-breaking theorem that symmetries lead to conservation laws. This course gives you the opportunity to learn and think as both physicist and mathematician, providing an appreciation of the world around us through a deeper understanding of both disciplines.This MPhys (Hons) Mathematics and Physics course is ideal for those looking to combine the logic and proof of mathematics with the study of physics. It enables you to gain a deep understanding of physical phenomena combined with the rigour necessary to appreciate the mathematical foundations that underpin our physical theories.In addition to the core physics programme you will take additional modules in pure and applied mathematics. This culminates in a dedicated mathematical physics project. At BSc level you will seek to appreciate the cutting edge of the discipline and at MPhys level you will be provided with opportunities to contribute original findings to the discipline itself.
