The five-year MPhys in Physics is an Integrated Masters program offered by the School of Physics and Astronomy. This comprehensive course covers essential physics concepts including mechanics, wave phenomena, optics, and electromagnetism, while also developing the mathematical foundations crucial for physics applications. Your initial two years will include mathematics modules from the School of Mathematics and Statistics, as quantitative skills form the backbone of physics. The program offers flexibility in module selection, potentially allowing you to incorporate astronomy, chemistry, computer science, philosophy, or other university-wide subjects into your studies. St Andrews' adaptable degree structure enables students to adjust their specialization during the program through careful module selection in the first two years.
