About this course
BSc (Hons) in Mathematics and Physics, a physics and mathematics degree exploring the fundamental processes of our universe alongside advanced mathematical concepts. Core topics include Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, and Entrepreneurship. Students split their time evenly between mathematics and physics across four years. The first year covers foundational modules such as Introduction to Mathematics at University, Introduction to Mathematical Analysis, Linear Algebra 1, and classical mechanics. The second year introduces modules including Linear Algebra 2, Elementary Probability and Statistics, Further Analysis and Several Variable Calculus, and Introduction to Mathematical Physics. The third year offers advanced study through modules like Topology, Algebra, Analysis, and Thermal Physics. The final year allows students to pursue various mathematical and physical topics through specialised options.
