Mathematics and Physics

The University of Edinburgh

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. Our Student Development team and the University's Careers Service give students employability support. This includes presentations from industry employers and alumni career showcases, which demonstrate the range of careers open to mathematics graduates.* We host regular workshops to help you prepare for applying to internships, jobs and further study.* Both schools have expertise in a variety of research areas, allowing you to tailor your degree to your area of interest.
