About Bsc (hons) Mathematics With Theoretical Physics in University of Plymouth
Course Details
Acquire a deep insight into modern theories of nature using powerful mathematical techniques. This degree will provide you with the necessary mathematical language to be able to describe, analyse and predict natural phenomena. Final year modules include classical and quantum mechanics, electrodynamics and relativity, fluid dynamics and partial differential equations. A particular highlight of the degree is the choice of project modules to explore aspects of modern physics in depth.
We have strong links with CERN and the European Light Infrastructure. We are fourth in the Guardian Mathematics University League Table for 2020. We are very proud that the excellent teaching and care that our mathematics students receive has been recognised in this way. Our lecturers' expertise, teaching and passion for our subject leads to our students being successful in their studies.
Key features
- We are fourth in the Guardian Mathematics University League Table for 2020 entry. This is a testament to the expertise, clarity and passion of our lecturers.
- Study the foundation of modern theoretical physics in modules such as Classical and Quantum Mechanics, and Electrodynamics and Relativity.
- Carry out an in-depth final year project in theoretical physics on topics such as quantum computers, black holes, teleportation or the quark model. You will be supervised by a leading academic: our theoretical physicists have research connections across the globe, including CERN and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Linear algebra is taught by a collaborator of a 2018 physics Nobel Prize winner.
- Learn high-level programming skills and master industry software including Python, R and parallel programming on a supercomputer.
- Increase your employability with an optional but strongly-recommended paid industry placement between the second and final years.
- Progress, like our previous graduates, into careers in research, work in the Met Office, GCHQ, finance, industry and medicine or postgraduate degrees in applied mathematics and theoretical physics.
