Physics with Theoretical Physics

Physics with Theoretical Physics MPhys (Hons) will give you the opportunity to develop the skills of a theoretical physicist. Available full-time with optional placement year. Learn more.

Our MPhys Physics with Theoretical Physics degree focuses on the formulation and solution of physical problems using mathematics and computing. Physics underpins the fundamental laws that govern everything from the smallest particles to the vast universe around us, and serves as the toolkit for modern engineering and the physical sciences. At Loughborough, you will study the foundational principles of physics while developing your problem-solving, experimental, mathematical, and computational skills which are valued in a wide range of workplaces and careers.

This degree combines the core physics course with applied mathematics modules with topics such as probability theory and differential geometry, providing the skills to think like a theoretical physicist and understand what it means to progress the theoretical underpinnings of physics. Our MPhys programmes offer a competitive edge in the job market due to their advanced content, highlighting commitment and specialised knowledge. The MPhys programmes include an extended research project, allowing deep exploration and potential contributions to human knowledge.

For careers needing deep physics understanding and research capability, an MPhys bolsters prospects. While a BSc partially meets Chartered Physicist and Chartered Scientist requirements, MPhys fully satisfies them.
