Mathematics and Physics Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
Course Overview - Mathematics and Physics Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
Maths and physics go hand in hand – and studying the basic concepts of physics, such as elementary particle theory, becomes a lot easier with a strong understanding of both pure and applied mathematics. This course combines the study of maths and physics equally, with each subject reinforcing the other.
In the first and second years of the course, you will take a balanced selection of modules from both UCL Mathematics and UCL Physics and Astronomy. Having established the core foundations, you will be able to choose from a wide range of options in both subjects in the third ...
Maths and physics go hand in hand – and studying the basic concepts of physics, such as elementary particle theory, becomes a lot easier with a strong understanding of both pure and applied mathematics. This course combines the study of maths and physics equally, with each subject reinforcing the other.
In the first and second years of the course, you will take a balanced selection of modules from both UCL Mathematics and UCL Physics and Astronomy. Having established the core foundations, you will be able to choose from a wide range of options in both subjects in the third year of the degree. Most modules are shared with single-subject degree courses, ensuring academic depth and breadth. While the course does not require practical laboratory work, opportunities to undertake practical work may be available if desired.
This course is offered as either a three-year BSc or a four-year MSci degree. The first two years of both courses are identical, and students are advised to apply initially for the MSci degree, as it is possible to transfer to the BSc during the first three years.
