Mathematics with Physics (Including Placement Year)

As well as these mathematical topics, your degree will develop your programming skills in languages such as Python, and you will learn to solve sophisticated problems using computational toolkits such as Matlab, Maple and R.

You can spend your third year with an external organisation, learning about a particular sector, company or job role, applying your academic knowledge in a practical working environment, and receiving inspiration for future career pathways. You will be responsible for finding your placement, but with support and guidance provided by both your department and the placements team. If you complete a placement year you'll only pay 20% of your usual tuition fee to Essex for that year.

This course can lead to employment opportunities within business, commerce, education, engineering, government service, industry and research as well as from the wider economy.
