Mathematical Physics MSc

Admission Requirements: The mathematical physics MSc degree is a challenging degree for well-qualified, highly motivated and independent students. The minimum entrance requirement is normally a UK 1st class degree in physics or mathematics with significant theoretical physics content, or its international equivalent, although applications will be considered on an individual basis. We are looking for significant knowledge of the following physics topics at advanced or intermediate undergraduate level:Classical/Lagrangian DynamicsElectromagnetismQuantum MechanicsSpecial RelativityStatistical/Thermal physics We are also looking for significant knowledge of the following topics in mathematics:Vector calculusFourier AnalysisTensorsComplex Analysis We recognise that many students will not have covered all of these topics at this level. We consider every application on an individual basis and may accept students who have studied a significant subset of these topics. These entrance and course requirements are intended as guide, but applications will be considered on an individual basis. Degrees in engineering, chemistry, geosciences, etc, are unlikely to be suitable preparation for this programme.
