Applied Mathematics and Physics

This degree joins the study of mathematics and physics into one programme. Students gain flexibility in their choice of modules and explore questions about society, technology and the universe through both disciplines. Institute of Physics accreditation recognises the programme's scientific content and standards. An optional year in industry lets students see physics and mathematics applied in real workplaces and enhance their career prospects. Graduate employers have included BT, Seagate, Allstate, Randox, Andor and the Civil Service. Students also have access to the IAESTE and Turing exchange programmes, which provide work experience with companies and universities abroad. Students can also choose from a flexible range of modules across both subjects, building the problem-solving and numerical skills that graduate employers value. The degree suits students who enjoy both abstract reasoning and practical application.
