About this course
MSci in Physics and Mathematics, studying both disciplines in equal measure over four years. Core topics include Mathematical Modelling, Statistics, Programming, Data Analysis, Laboratory Techniques, and Research Methods. The course is accredited by the Institute of Physics and shares its first year with the BSc programme, with the option to transfer. In the final year, students complete a major project and research review, with flexibility to specialise in physics or mathematics based study.
