Mathematics and Physics

Mathematics is a vast and ever-growing subject which incorporates successful explorations of numerical, geometrical and logical relationships.

Our programme allows you to choose from a wide variety of courses in honours years. Our ambassador scheme gives students the chance to spend time in schools, experiencing teaching at first hand and developing vital workplace skills.

Physics is the experimental and theoretical study of matter and energy and their interactions, ranging from the domain of elementary particles, through nuclear and atomic physics, to the physics of solids and, ultimately, to the origins of the universe itself.

Many of our staff play leading roles in major international research projects, such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and the gravitational wave observatory LIGO.
