Course summary
If you are equally drawn to studying for a degree in maths and a degree in physics, then this Theoretical Physics and Applied Mathematics MSci programme is for you. The course is a joint honours degree between the School of Physics and Astronomy and the School of Mathematics. Our Theoretical Physics and Applied Mathematics MSci degree course draws on the expertise of Birmingham physicists and mathematicians engaged in cutting-edge research. This will enable you to gain strong theoretical skills from experts in this field, during your modules and your final-year project too. You will become a member of one of our research groups and tackle a real open ended research problem for your project. Initially your time is split evenly between the School of Physics and Astronomy and the School of Mathematics, in later years you can choose to focus on one or keep options from both. As the two Schools are physically located next door to one another and the subjects themselves are close neighbours too, this joint honours course is unique in providing you a cohesive programme of study with plenty of choice. Modern applied mathematics has provided many concepts that have revolutionised physical thought in unexpected directions. What can you bring?
