Mathematics and Physics Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
Course Overview - Mathematics and Physics Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
Studying mathematics at university encourages you to think in an entirely different way. Through the introduction to new mathematical concepts not explored at school level, you will develop a rigorous mindset, and gain invaluable problem-solving skills and analytical skills.
Physics is the study of the fundamental processes of our universe, and its laws underpin the other natural sciences.
This programme allows you to study these closely related subjects in equal depth. You will split your time evenly between both mathematics and physics, and you can:

Studying mathematics at university encourages you to think in an entirely different way. Through the introduction to new mathematical concepts not explored at school level, you will develop a rigorous mindset, and gain invaluable problem-solving skills and analytical skills.
Physics is the study of the fundamental processes of our universe, and its laws underpin the other natural sciences.
This programme allows you to study these closely related subjects in equal depth. You will split your time evenly between both mathematics and physics, and you can:
* specialise in particular aspects of mathematics or physics
* examine the links between the two subjects
* study a broad range of topics
Programme benefits
* Enhance your knowledge of both mathematics and physics by studying them together in this joint degree programme.
* Our teaching fosters interactive engagement that promotes long-term understanding.
* Our programmes focus on employability skills. Together with the University's Careers Service, we give students employability support. This includes presentations from industry employers and alumni career showcases, which demonstrate the range of careers open to mathematics graduates.
* Both schools have expertise in a variety of research areas, allowing you to tailor your degree to your area of interest.
