Physics with Theoretical Physics BSc (Hons)

Course Overview - Physics with Theoretical Physics BSc (Hons)

Learn about the deep connections between mathematics and theoretical physics and develop your scientific computing and theoretical modelling skills to understand and solve complex physical problems.

During the course, you’ll learn about the fundamental theoretical physics describing the intertwining of space, time, matter and energy. You’ll develop and apply theoretical models, learn about active matter and general relativity, investigate nonlinear physics and quantum optics.

As well as gaining a deep knowledge and understanding of physics, you’ll graduate with str...

International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme

36

Typical offer: 36 points overall and 7, 6, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including Physics and either HL Mathematics. In exceptional circumstances we may be able to consider you if you are studying either Standard Level Physics or Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches. Our typical offer in this instance would be 36 points overall with 6, 6, 6 or 7, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Physics or either HL Mathematics plus 7 in Standard Level Physics or Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches. We cannot consider Standard Level Mathematics: Applications and Interpretations for this course. Contextual offer: 36 points overall and 6, 6, 6 or 7, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Physics and 6 in either HL Mathematics.

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)

D*DD

Typical offer: D*DD in the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (RQF) plus grade A in A level Mathematics. You must be studying A level Mathematics alongside your BTEC qualification. We are able to consider BTEC qualifications in Applied Science and you need to have studied as many units in Physical Science as possible. Please contact us to discuss the suitability of your units before making an application.

Scottish Advanced Higher

A,A

AA in two Advanced Highers including Mathematics and Physics. We make offers based on Advanced Highers. You will typically be expected to have completed five Scottish Highers and your grades in these will be considered as part of your application.
