Physics relies on mathematics as its essential framework. Mathematical concepts enable physicists to forecast phenomena, with numerous branches of mathematics evolving specifically to address physics challenges. This program delves into mathematical principles and their applications in theoretical physics, covering subjects like particle physics, astrophysics, and quantum field theory. Graduates will acquire specialized expertise valued by employers in scientific, industrial, and research sectors. Offered by the School of Mathematical Sciences, this program combines instruction from both Mathematical Sciences and Physics and Astronomy departments through the STAG (Southampton, Theory, Astronomy and Gravitation) research hub. STAG pioneers cutting-edge research in theoretical particle physics, astronomy, general relativity, and string theory. The curriculum's mathematical component starts with core topics including calculus, linear algebra, vector calculus, and partial differential equations. The physics segment explores crucial concepts such as relativity, cosmology, astrophysics, laser technology applications, atomic and particle physics, and optoelectronics.

Qualification Requirements

A-levels - AAA or AABB including Mathematics and Physics (grade A)

A-levels additional information
Offers typically exclude General Studies and Critical Thinking.

If an additional Mathematics qualification (STEP grade 2/MAT/TMUA) is taken alongside three A-levels then the offer will be AAB including Mathematics and Physics (grade A). We accept any of the three STEP papers. For more details about the STEP and TMUA papers see the Admissions Testing Service Website.


A-levels with Extended Project Qualification
If you are taking an EPQ in addition to 3 A levels, you will receive the following offer in addition to the standard A level offer: AAB including A in Mathematics and Physics and grade A in the EPQ

A-levels contextual offer
We are committed to ensuring that all applicants with the potential to succeed, regardless of their background, are encouraged to apply to study with us. The additional information gained through contextual data allows us to recognise an applicant's potential to succeed in the context of their background and experience. Applicants who are highlighted in this way will be made an offer which is lower than the typical offer for that programme. The contextual offer for this programme is AAB including A in Maths and Physics.

International Baccalaureate Diploma - Pass, with 36 points overall with 18 at Higher Level, including 6 points from Higher Level Physics and Mathematics (Preferred Mathematics module is Analysis and Approaches, but Applications and Interpretation is also considered)

IELTS - overall score 6.5 with other component (reading, writing, speaking, listening - 6.0)
TOEFL iBT- 92
