Theoretical Physics

This MPhys degree programme gives an excellent general overview of physics, with an emphasis on theoretical aspects. It covers most areas of classical and quantum physics. This degree programme gives you a broad overview of physics, covering a wide range of areas in classical and quantum physics.

In Years 1 and 2, you will study the same core courses as physics students, before specialising in the theoretical aspects of physics in advanced years. Compared to the BSc, our MPhys Theoretical Physics programme provides a broader and deeper exposure to the concepts, methods and phenomena of physics. You will also gain experience of research work through an extended project.

This provides a foundation for further research studies in physics. Watch our video to hear a cademics from the School of Physics and Astronomy talk about the Theoretical Physics degree programme.
