One of the most remarkable things about our universe is how much of it can be explained through just a handful of fundamental physical principles. Theoretical physicists focus on discovering the most accurate mathematical frameworks to explain physical phenomena across all scales - from the quantum realm of tiny particles and nanomaterials to the warped fabric of space-time and the vast structure of the universe.
The main coursework features foundational topics like quantum physics and electromagnetism in year one, progressing to quantum mechanics and relativity in year two, followed by particle physics, atomic physics, and condensed matter physics in year three. During years 2 and 3, students can select specialized modules exploring areas like classical fields, gravity and cosmology, or particle physics. Optional courses may include Quantum Information and The Early Universe.
