Theoretical Physics (MPhys)

To study a Theoretical Physics degree an individual will usually have to have studied Physics at A level along with two other A level subjects. The entry requirements are subject to change, but currently individuals are asked for AAB. Work experience of at least 2 weeks working in a relevant field is required.

Taking four years to complete with placements and work experience a key part in being able to complete this degree and provide the pathway to become professionally qualified in Theoretical Physics leading to endless career possibilities.

Students will gain a good knowledge of physics and how to solve physics problems using mathematics and computing. Studying a wide range of topics:

• Modern physics and physics of fields and matter
• Thermodynamics
• Statistical mechanics
• Electromagnetism
• Optics
• Quantum mechanics.

There will be an extensive amount of mathematical and statistical work throughout this course so a highly analytical mindset is needed.
