Theoretical Physics MPhys

This degree programme gives you a broad overview of Physics covering a wide range of areas in classical and quantum physics.<br/><br/>In the first two years, you will be studying the same core courses as Physics students, before specialising in the theoretical aspects of physics in advanced years. In particular, you will focus on:<br/><br/><br/>* physics theory<br/><br/><br/>* the formulation and solving of physics problems using analytic and computational methods<br/><br/><br/>Compared to the BSc, our MPhys Theoretical Physics programme provides a broader and deeper exposure to the concepts, methods and phenomena of physics. You will also gain experience of research work through an extended project. This provides a foundation for further research studies in physics.<br/><br/><strong>Programme benefits</strong><br/><br/><br/>* The School of Physics and Astronomy has close links with the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, one of the UKs major centres of astronomical research.<br/><br/><br/>* The Institute for Astronomy (IfA), one of the Schools research institutes, is based at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh.<br/><br/><br/>* You will be taught by academic staff with links to major research facilities across the world, including CERN, TRIUMF, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and a number of principal astronomy facilities.<br/><br/><br/>* This programme is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP) and fully meets the educational requirements for Chartered Physicist.<br/><br/><br/>* Take your knowledge further by completing a major research project in Year 5.<br/>
