Program

Theoretical Physics

Summary

Theoretical Physics is aimed at students interested in the more mathematical and theoretical aspect of physics. The course provides a solid grounding in all aspects of physics, both theoretical and experimental, although a significant amount of practical work is replaced by lecture courses and project work in theoretical physics. In the first two years, you will study the topics of mechanics, applied mathematics and computational physics. In third and fourth year you will study in more depth topics of particular interest to you, for example, quantum theory, electromagnetic theory and advanced mathematical methods

Theoretical Physics highlights

Professional Accreditations

Students will have partially fulfilled the requirements to obtain the status of Chartered Physicist (CPhys) with the Institute of Physics.

Industry Links

All students in the school have the option to include a year in industry as part of their studies. This is a fantastic opportunity to see Physics at work in the real world, and to enhance your career prospects at the same time. Possible placements will include companies in the finance and technology sectors, and indeed we maintain strong links with local companies who hire Physics graduates, for example Andor Technology, AquaQ Analytics, Seagate, General Electric, Medical Physics in The NHS.

Further Study Opportunities

Students can take an optional placement year between years 2/3 or years 3/4 of their course. Completion of an approved placement will be acknowledged in your final degree certificate with the addition of the words "with placement year".
