Theoretical Physics and Applied Mathematics - MSci (Hons)

University of Birmingham

Explore the mathematics of the natural world with MSci Theoretical Physics and Applied Mathematics. Blend your interest in maths and physics on our joint honours integrated Masters level programme and open up a range of career opportunities.Learn how to use mathematical techniques and analysis to advance our understanding of the universe. Join us and investigate complex theoretical concepts as you build your problem-solving, programming, teamwork and experimental skills.Develop your core knowledge of modern physics and maths with studies in quantum mechanics and mathematical applications. You'll learn from experts in the Schools of Mathematics and Physics and Astronomy. Choose whether you want to include experimental lab work and you’ll have options for specialist topics such as nuclear physics, exoplanets and applied mathematical analysis.During your final year you’ll apply your knowledge to an individual project, developing high-level research skills and deepen your understanding with advanced modules. Our research spaces include our own particle accelerator, our MC40 cyclotron and labs used for the construction of the detectors and electronics in experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN.As a Birmingham Physics graduate, you'll have a broad range of options for the future either working directly in a scientific environment or using transferable skills in different roles.
